On-farm storage loss estimates of maize in Kenya using community survey methods [0.03%] 基于社区调查方法的肯尼亚玉米农户储藏损失估算
Hugo De Groote,Francisca Ndinda Muteti,Anani Y Bruce Hugo De Groote
Maize is the most important staple in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with highly seasonal production. High storage losses affect food security, but good estimations are lacking. A new method using focus group discussions (FGDs) was tested with 1...
Performance of a hermetic device and neem (Azadirachta indica) in storing wheat seed: Evidence from participatory household trials in central Bangladesh [0.03%] 家用真空装置和苦楝(Azadirachta indica)储藏小麦种子的效果性：来自孟加拉国中央农户实验的证据
Timothy J Krupnik,Khaled Hossain,Jagadish Timsina et al. Timothy J Krupnik et al.
Smallholder farmers in Bangladesh often use low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bags contained within woven polypropylene bags to store wheat seed during the summer monsoon that precedes winter season planting. High humidity and temperature dur...

Soybean seed quality is affected by high relative humidity (r.h.) during storage in the humid tropics resulting in loss of germination. This study assessed the effectiveness of hermetic bags in preserving soybean seed quality when stored at...
The use and profitability of hermetic technologies for grain storage among smallholder farmers in eastern Kenya [0.03%] 东肯尼亚小农户密闭储粮技术使用及盈利能力调查报告
D Baributsa,A W Njoroge D Baributsa
Hermetic storage technologies (HSTs) have been disseminated in Sub-Saharan Africa (including Kenya) to reduce grain storage losses among farmers. We carried out a study in three counties in eastern Kenya to assess the use and profitability ...
Post-harvest practices for aflatoxin control: Evidence from Kenya [0.03%] 基於肯尼亞的實證：關於控制黃曲霉毒素採收後措施的研究
Alexia Pretari,Vivian Hoffmann,Lulu Tian Alexia Pretari
We assess the impact of a package of post-harvest technologies on aflatoxin contamination of maize through a randomized trial in rural Kenya. Some elements of this package (training and provision of plastic sheets for sun-drying) were provi...

The PICS bags, originally developed for cowpea storage, were evaluated for sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) preservation. Batches of 25 kg of sorghum grain were stored in 50 kg PICS or polypropylene (PP) bags under ambient conditions for 12 months...
A time-saving method for sealing Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bags [0.03%] 一种节约时间的 Purdue 改进型作物储藏袋（PICS）封口方法
Kabita Kharel,Linda J Mason,Scott B Williams et al. Kabita Kharel et al.
Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bags were designed to reduce grain storage losses on smallholder farms. The bag consists of three layers: two high-density polyethylene liners fitted inside a woven polypropylene bag. Recently, farmer gro...
Cumulative oxygen consumption during development of two postharvest insect pests: Callosobruchus maculatus Fabricius and Plodia interpunctella Hübner [0.03%] 两种采后害虫Callosobruchus maculatus Fabricius和Plodia interpunctella Hübner在发育过程中的耗氧量累积
Hannah E Quellhorst,Scott B Williams,Larry L Murdock et al. Hannah E Quellhorst et al.
Insect pests such as Callosobruchus maculatus Fabricius and Plodia interpunctella Hübner cause substantial losses to grain during postharvest storage. In the last few years, hermetic storage technologies have been successfully used by smal...
Performance of PICS bags under extreme conditions in the sahel zone of Niger [0.03%] 尼日尔萨赫勒地区PICs袋极端条件下性能试验研究报告摘要
Ibrahim B Baoua,Ousmane Bakoye,Laouali Amadou et al. Ibrahim B Baoua et al.
Experiments in Niger assessed whether extreme environmental conditions including sunlight exposure affect the performance of triple-layer PICS bags in protecting cowpea grain against bruchids. Sets of PICS bags and woven polypropylene bags ...
Brett Lane,Charles Woloshuk Brett Lane
Small hermetic bags (50 and 100 kg capacities) used by smallholder farmers in several African countries have proven to be a low-cost solution for preventing storage losses due to insects. The complexity of postharvest practices and the need...
