India is an agricultural country and is the second-largest producer of wheat. Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for about 58% of India's population.

We choose this topic as every year tons of food gets destroyed due to pests. Even during the lockdown, there were news that tons of food got wasted due to pests. These were going to be distributed among the people, and due to that many of us suffered food shortage. According to Cambridge Journal reports for the period, 2001–03 on a regional basis (19 regions) as well as for the total global potential loss due to pests varied from about 50% in wheat and varies in different regions and different crops. The main pest that is responsible for wheat destruction is Rhyzopertha which can reduce about 30 percent in the final output of wheat amount and the resultant economic loss due to wheat midge is 30 million dollars. The two key elements responsible for pest invasion in storage spaces are heat and humidity. Variation in any of these two could increase the rate of reproduction of these pests. This situation motivated us to choose this problem.

Crops stored after harvesting and cleaning are the finished products for the farmers. The safety of these finished goods is the highest priority for the farmer as his/her whole family's very livelihood depends on it. Variation of heat and humidity gives rise to pest invasion. Thus the farmer is continuously insecure about the safety of his crops.

Crop failures due to pests and insects in the storage areas caused due to uneven temperature and humidity create problems for the farmers in getting their desired profit and the customers getting healthy food.
