- Intervention effect One year in brick wall warehouses reduced tested seed quality attributes relative to modern silo and fresh seed.
- Intervention effect A further year in those two stores further significantly decreased tested characters.
- Intervention effect One year in a corrugated iron warehouse gave lower test results than traditional silo and brick warehouse storage.
- Intervention effect A further year in the corrugated iron warehouse caused 60% loss of viability and germination capacity.
- Intervention effect One year in underground pits left germination ability below 0.11.
- Intervention effect One year in underground pits left viability below 0.17.
- Observation Underground pit seed contained up to 30% inert matter and other seeds.
- Intervention effect Modern silo seed protein content was similar to fresh seed and higher than other storage types.
- Intervention effect Modern silo seed oil content was similar to fresh seed and higher than other storage types.
