Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The availability of cereals to fulfill the food consumption needs of the growing population has become extremely challenging. Post-harvest losses of cereal grains take place throughout the grain value chain from harvesting to end consumption, leading to food insecurity. There are several factors responsible for post-harvest losses of cereal grains, such as insect, pest, and fungal infestation. Inadequate storage strategies are also the chief cause of post-harvest losses of grains. Crop management systems such as integrated crop management and integrated pest management must also be implemented to reduce on-farm losses. Recently many novel disinfection techniques and storage technologies have been explored to reduce post-harvest losses as much as possible.
