Green ecological grain storage technologies (GEGSTs) are the means of controlling stored grain quality, and quality changes of stored grain are the basis of GEGSTs control. This paper introduces that GEGSTs are widely used in China, including monitoring and early warning of stored grain pest and mould, pest control by using food-grade materials, controlled atmosphere for pest control, ventilation for lowering and equalizing temperature, low and quasi-low temperature grain storage, treatment of hot spots, etc. And it introduces that grain processing enterprises’ and market’s request for grain quality, is called “quality control”. It also clarifies that stored grain quality control is the purpose, and emphasizes that GEGSTs control is the process, so GEGSTs control should serve for quality control. Therefore, we propose that the technology application and the quality control of grain storage are equally important, and without the quality control, the technology application could be invalid, especially for sensitive areas in grain bulks. In the process of grain storage, special attention should be paid to quality changes in the sensitive areas, like real-time monitoring. Identify and utilize scientific and reasonable technology accordingly, including related technologies and equipment, to improve "overall" quality control level of stored grain bulks, and to gradually standardize them. By means of GEGSTs, positive ecological storage conditions are effectively utilized, which helps us achieve the purposes of safety, no pollution, high quality and nutrition during grain storage.

The stored-product pests are economically important that can be spread through grain trade. Most storedproduct pests, including eggs, nymphs, and adults, are very small and difficult to identify morphologically. Also the classification and identification of them have always been hindered by the overwhelming number of species, widely distribution. Here, we collected 43 stored-product pests from 46 geographical locations in China and other countries. The mtDNA COI gene sequences were sequenced. Software MEGA 5 was used to analyze the sequence comploition and genetic distances. Three molecular phylogenetic trees of Platypodidae were recomstructed using PAUP4.0 according to distance/ the neighbour-joining (NJ) and maximum parsimony (MP). The molecular results were compared with the morphological taxonomy. The interspecific genetic distance of the stored-product pests was significantly higher than the intraspecific genetic distance according to the barcoding gap analysis. This work provides a practical approach for the precise and rapid diagnosis of storedproduct pests.
