AN EVALUATION ON THE VIABILITY ON THE POST-HARVESTED STORED WHEAT GRAINS
Shiju Mathew International Journal of Pharma and Bio Sciences 2010
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Viability of stored wheat grain decreases on storage.
- Observation Variety U.P. 262 has much higher sprouting capability than H.D. 1982.
- Observation After 3 years of storage, sprouting of wheat grain takes from days to weeks and sometimes months to complete.
- Observation Post-harvest grain losses in quantity and quality were found in stored wheat.
- Recommendation Concrete steps should be taken to improve the storage conditions of government godowns for wheat grain.
- Recommendation A holistic ecological view is needed for management approaches to long-term storage of wheat grains.
- Recommendation New and better methods for preserving stored wheat grains with minimal nutrient loss should be developed.
