to combat grain
WASHINGTON, D.C. - A
new insect that might help
farmers fight a poisonous
fungus in gram has been
discovered in a Michigan
wheat field.
Bisham P. Singh of the
U.S. . Department of
Agriculture’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection
Service said he found the
new insect-a tiny, dark
beetle-during a routine
survey in St. Clare county
for plant diseases of
economic importance in
Michigan crops.
James 0. Lee, APHIS
deputy administrator, said
the new insect is one of an
obscure specie of beetles
never before detected or
described in scientific
literature anywhere in the
world.
He said the insect was
found feeding on ergot, a
common fungus of grain
often fed to livestock.

Ergot is a poison to warm

people. Some of its com
ponents are said to be
related to LSD, Lee said.
Ingestion of the fungus in
great quantities, Lee said,
can kill humans or livestock,
frequently posing a problem
for fanners. However, the

large quantities of the ergot
components without any side
effects.
Researchers will evaluate
whether the insect helps
spread the poisonous fungus
as it moves from field to field
whether it could be
developed as a parasite to
control ergot.
They also will look at the
enzymes in the insect’s
digestive tract to learn what
substances break down the
poisonous compounds, a
determination which could
lead to a possible cure for
ergot poisoning, Lee said.
