Preventive and control measures adopted for the storage of grains include

(a) strict cleaning

(b) proper disjoining

(c) fumigation

(d) all of the above

Answers (1)

Answer: D

The losses caused by storage of grains can turn out to be very high and cause a huge damage to the agricultural produce. When the storage spaces are not properly managed, factors such as insects, mites, fungi and bacteria can lead to weight loss of produce, declination in the quality of the produce and discolouration.

In order to prevent this the storage places should be managed by taking Preventive and control measures which include:

Strict cleaning: The produce is properly cleaned before it is moved for storage.

Proper disjoining: Different produce should be kept at separate levels from each other.

Fumigation: Chemicals are used in the storage spaces to kill the pests.

Hence, the correct answer is D.
