Sobre IBD

The quality of a crop is determined not only by a healthy harvest, but also on how well it is processed after that which includes preserving, cleaning, sorting and packing of the crop. Post-harvest management plays a significant role in avoiding physical, chemical and biological damage to the crop and storing it for a long duration of time. The book explains economics of storage, post-harvest losses and techniques to maintain grain quality in storage. It covers laboratory as well as field studies to solve storage related problems and preservation of stored products. Students, researchers and industry experts will find a comprehensive insight into the latest practices, tools and techniques in crop postharvest and storage. 3
