U. S. GRAIN MARKETING RESEARCH LABORATORY
GRAIN MARKETING AND PRODUCTION RESEARCH CENTER
LABORATORY MISSION
The mission of the U. S. Grain Marketing Research Laboratory is to develop new knowledge,
information, and technologies needed to solve problems associated with the harvest, storage,
marketing, and overall quality and end-use properties of cereal grains. The Laboratory program
focuses on post-harvest aspects of grain marketing and includes a major commitment to
incorporation of optimum end-use quality characteristics into new grain varieties in cooperation with
plant breeders. The Laboratory provides multidisciplinary research on these issues by three research
units:
Biological Research Unit
Engineering Research Unit
Grain Quality and Structure Research Unit
MISSION OF THE BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH UNIT
The mission of the Biological Research Unit is to develop new, ecologically-based methods to
manage insect pests in stored grain, processed commodities and storage and processing facilities.
A multi-disciplinary team conducts fundamental and applied research on new biological and
ecological approaches to pest management that will reduce the use of traditional pesticides on
grain and grain products. Successful completion of the mission will provide a sustainable supply
of high-quality cereal products.
We conduct research on biological control agents, insect-resistant packaging, novel physiological
control techniques, host plant resistance, insecticide deployment and resistance management
strategies, insect biochemistry and genetics, insect population monitoring, population dynamics
and behavior, and computer-based integrated pest management systems.
