Can anoxic atmospheres protect the quality of maize seeds during storage?
(Elsevier, 2022-01-10)Low oxygen atmospheres have proven to be effective to protect seed quality in many species during storage. In maize, however, the evidence is ambiguous since positive, negative, and neutral effects were reported. These ... -
Effectiveness of hermetic bag storage technology to preserve physical quality attributes of shea nuts
(Elsevier, 2023-03)Shea nuts are a nutritionally and economically important tree crop harvested seasonally in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Storage losses are a major constraint in the shea nut value chain, with substantial amounts lost ... -
Evolution of grain microbiota during hermetic storage of corn (Zea mays L.)
(Elsevier, 2021-03-17)Respiration of biotic components of the grain ecosystem generates self-modified atmospheres (oxygen reduced and carbon dioxide enriched) during hermetic storage. The effect of temperature, moisture content and modified ... -
Germination and Vigor of Maize Seeds: Pilot-Scale Comparison of Low-Oxygen and Traditional Storage Methods
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, MDPI, 2024-08)Seed quality declines during storage depending on relative humidity, temperature, and oxygen concentration. Low-oxygen atmospheres significantly enhanced the germination and vigor of seeds during storage in laboratory-scale ... -
Pest control treatments with phosphine and controlled atmospheres in silo bags with different airtightness conditions
(2016)La tecnología de bolsas de silo ha sido ampliamente utilizada en Argentina para almacenar granos (por ejemplo, trigo, maíz, cebada, girasol y soja, entre otros) desde mediados de los años noventa. Bolsa de silo son ampliamente ... -
Pre-harvest strategy for reducing aflatoxin accumulation during storage of maize in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2022-08-27)Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important crop in Argentina. Aspergillus flavus may infect this crop at growing stage and the harvested kernels can be contaminated with aflatoxins (AFs), whose levels may increase during storage. ... -
Predicting soybean losses using carbon dioxide monitoring during storage in silo bags
(Elsevier, 2019-06)The rapid increase of the overall grain production of Argentina resulted with a storage capacity deficit in permanent structures of 40–50 million tons, and this context favored the rapid adoption of the silo bag technology. ... -
Respiration of barley seeds (Hordeum vulgare L.) under different storage conditions
(Elsevier, 2023-09-01)The changes in oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations were characterized during the hermetic storage of barley seeds (Hordeum vulgare L.) in glass jars at different temperatures (5, 15, 25, and 35 °C) and ... -
Respiration rates and microbiological development in yellow-dent maize seeds stored between 12% and 14% moisture content
(Elsevier, 2023-12)Understanding microbial development under the typical storage conditions of maize seeds is crucial for maintaining seed quality and ensuring successful crop establishment. In this study, the respiration and microbial growth ... -
Storing soybeans (Glycine max) in silo bags: economic outcomes and grain loss risk
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2020-12-01)Silo bags have the potential to increase grain marketing efficiency and to give farmers additional bargaining power. However, silo bags are prone to tearing that can cause grain losses. This article assesses the economic ... -
Study and modelling the respiration of corn seeds (Zea mays L.) during hermetic storage
(Elsevier, 2021-06-05)The dynamics of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations were characterized in corn (Zea mays L.) seed hermetically stored in glass jars at 15, 25 and 35 °C and 14.3, 16.5 and 18.3% moisture content. Gas ... -
Uso de atmósfera controlada y 1-MCP en kiwis ´Hayward´ producidos en Argentina : efectos sobre la maduración = Controlled atmosphere storage and 1-MCP of ‘Hayward’ kiwifruits grown in Argentina : effects on ripening
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, 2016)Se estudió el efecto del uso de la atmósfera controlada (AC), 1-metilciclopropeno (1-MCP) y su combinación, sobre la maduración del kiwi ‘Hayward’. Frutos cosechados con 16,6% de materia seca y 9% de sólidos solubles totales ...
