Description Storage has a major share in post harvest losses. Storage structures
especially traditional structures causes huge damage to grains. Taking into
consideration a study was undertaken and mud bamboo storage structures were
designed and developed using Rankine's theory and by determining various
parameters like compressive strength of soil mixed with paddy straw and
cowdung, ultimate tensile strength of soil and coefficient of internal and external
friction of paddy. Forces acting during loading and unloading were also taken into
consideration during design. Various treatments viz. coal tar, neem fruit oil, lime
and polyethylene were given and their performance was evaluated against control
bin. Various parameters like moisture content, temperature, germination, viability,
physical analysis, milling analysis and fumigation test were used to judge
performance of bins.
It was observed that moisture fluctuations were maximum in control bin
and minimum in polyethylene bin. Temperatures were higher in control bin
compared to other bins. Germination and viability losses were higher in control,
neem and coal tar coated bins compared to polyethylene and lime coated bins. At
the end of 105 days storage, insect infestation was 13.25, 11.03, 10.78, 9.11 and
10.21 per cent in control, coal tar, neem, polyethylene and lime coated bins
respectively. Weight losses were higher hi control (4.24%), coal tar (3.76%) and
neem (3.88%) bins compared to polyethylene (3.45%) and lime coated (3.72%)
bins. Mainly three types of insects were observed in all the bins and their
population was maximum in control bin and minimum in polyethylene bin.
Mortality rate due to fumigation were higher in polyethylene (90%), coal tar
(86%) and lime (83%) bins compared to control (76%) and neem oil coated bin
(72%). Milling analysis depicts that there was decrease of about 3.5, 3, 3, 2 and 2
per cent in total yield in control, coal tar, neem, polyethylene and lime coated bins
respectively. Overall polyethylene and lime coating were found to be the most
effective treatments.
