By Janine Hughes


If you have various crops that you need to store, then you must make sure that they are properly protected when they are in storage. You have to prevent them from getting attacked by insect infestation. Thus, you better prepare your stuff well before you store the crops in their proper place when the time comes.

You must take note of a few quality tips then for this procedure. These are tips that should allow you to prepare for the storage well. With these tips, you can make sure the grain bin monitoring will go well. To ensure that you can do a good job at the storage, here are some valuable tips you can take advantage of.

First, you should make a choice in which bins to use for this storage. With the bins, you have to choose which ones are suitable for which types of seeds. This means that one container should be assigned to one type of seed. You should never mix two or more types of seeds in one container during the storage.

Going natural should be ideal. If you can go natural for some crops, then you better do so. A good example of this is the crops flax and canola. In the storage of these crops, you have to avoid using chemical insecticides such as malathion. They can be absorbed into the crops and residue might be left in the crops.

If you have plans to store cereals, then you have to pay attention to the insecticides that you use. You have to pick from among the several approved insecticides to use for the bins. These are the insecticides you will need to use to treat the interior of those empty bins that you will be using for the storage.

It is imperative for the bins to be properly cleaned before they are used. In fact, it is better to clean them up again before harvest. That way, you can ensure that the insects in there are eliminated. They cannot cause rot or waste to the seeds that you store. Cleaning requires you to use high-pressure air and water.

You have to add the crops into the bins slowly but surely. Of course, you should add the crops once you are sure that the bins are thoroughly cleaned. You have to fill up the bins but make sure that the latter does not overflow with the crops. Once you have filled the bins, you have to keep the surface at a level.

The aeration is the next thing that you will have to worry about. You have to pay attention to this because this is an important system to use for the storage. If you do not have proper storage, you cannot avoid rotting. That is why you better clean up this system before using and ensure that it really works properly.

There are other preparatory works you must do so that you may make the most out of this storage. When it comes to these tips, you better accomplish them right. Otherwise, you will be wasting not only your storing efforts but the efforts made by others during the planting of the crops up to the harvesting part.
