GOOD STORAGE PRACTICES
1. Prevent losses from insects, mites and moulds by storing grain, oilseed and pulse crops properly; preventing infestations is easier, safer and less expensive than curative interventions.
2. Prepare the bin before storing the new crop. Stores must be clean, dry and well ventilated. Handling equipment must work properly to reduce damage grain.
3. Install an aeration system to reduce grain temperatures and to reduce moisture migration.
4. Drying. Tough or damp crops are more likely to become mouldy or infested with insects and mites than dry crops. There are two basic methods of drying grain: heated air and bulk drying.
5. Cooling after drying to stop insects breeding, prevent pest increase and reduce relative humidity.
6. The use of a suitable, approved preservative, for example Myco CURB, is beneficial for cereals to avoid heating and moulding as storage conditions change in the course of the storage period.
7. The preservative should be applied promptly with appropriate application equipment to provide even coverage of the whole batch of grain being treated.
8. Monitoring and control moisture and temperature as these two factors interact to provide favourable conditions for growth of moulds and mites. As a result of monitoring, eventually apply corrective actions.
9. Monitoring pest and rodents and eventually apply corrective actions.
