Abstract

Experiment on storability of grains in different types of storage structures revealed that the moisture content in the tin container increased but decreased in gunny bags and fiber bags. The hardness and germination percentage of grains decreased in all types of storage structures whereas insect damage and weight loss of grain increased in all genotypes and storage structures.
