Dataset of thermal behaviour and weather data of thermal disinfestation of Sitophilus oryzae in plastic bags using solar heating.

These datasets are related to solar disinfestation of wheat using polyethylene bags and direct solar radiation to control Sitophilus oryzae. The data collected in Canada and Egypt. In Canada, Clear polyethylene bags of wheat were used for thermal control using solar radiation. There were four treatments of different wheat amount, 16, 21, and 25 inside clear bags in wood boxes and another 21 kg of wheat in plastic bag not in a wood box. The solar heating for all treatments were investigated in the field under two different conditions. First, the temperature profile inside the bags was recorded every morning, and the grains were mixed and stacked in foam boxes during the night over five days. Second, the temperature profile was recorded continuously during day and night over six days. Different weather condition, ambient temperature, solar radiation, wind direction, and wind speed were collected during both experiments using a weather station located on the filed. In Egypt, clear plastic bags and woven plastic bags with 16 kg of wheat were used for solar heating over 5 d. Generally, the temperature profile data inside the plastic polyethene bags under different storage conditions, grain amounts, bags materials and different weather conditions allow other researchers to develop different models to understand the thermal behavior for thermal disinfestation. Solar heating is a very promising disinfestation technique that was successfully used for museum pest control, postharvest pest control, and soil disinfestation.

本数据集涉及利用聚乙烯袋和直接太阳辐射对小麦进行日光消毒以控制拟谷盗（Sitophilus oryzae）的研究。数据收集于加拿大和埃及。在加拿大，采用透明聚乙烯袋盛装小麦，通过太阳辐射进行热控制。实验分为四组，分别将16公斤、21公斤和25公斤的小麦装入透明袋中放置于木箱内，以及将21公斤的小麦装入塑料袋但未放置于木箱内。在两种不同条件下对所有处理方式的太阳加热进行了实地调查。首先，在五天内每天早晨记录袋内温度曲线，并在夜间将谷物混合后堆放在泡沫箱中。其次，在六天内连续记录昼夜温度曲线。在两个实验过程中，利用位于现场的风暴站收集了不同的天气条件、环境温度、太阳辐射、风向和风速。在埃及，使用透明塑料袋和编织塑料袋，分别装载16公斤小麦进行为期5天的太阳加热。总体而言，不同储存条件下塑料聚乙烯袋内温度曲线、谷物数量、袋材以及不同天气条件的数据，使得其他研究者能够开发出不同的模型以理解热消毒的热行为。太阳加热是一种极具潜力的消毒技术，已成功应用于博物馆害虫控制、收获后害虫控制和土壤消毒等领域。
