Summary

IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POLLUTION OF GRAIN IN STORAGE AND TO OBVIATE THE TRADITIONAL METHOD OF FUMIGATION WITH CHEMICALS, THE AA. TRANSFORMED AN OLD GRAIN DEPOT INTO A LOW TEMPERATURE WAREHOUSE TO STORE RICE AND MAIZE. IN WINTER, DRY COLD AIR WAS USED TO COOL THE GRAIN AND THE STORE WAS THEN SEALED. IN SUMMER, REFRIGERATION WAS USED TO REDUCE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GRAIN TO BELOW 293 K (20.C), THUS GUARANTEEING SAFE STORAGE. DATA OBTAINED ON THE QUALITY OF THE STORED GRAIN AND THE BEHAVIOUR OF INSECTS HAS PROVED THAT LOW TEMPERATURE STORAGE NOT ONLY MAINTAINS GOOD QUALITY, BUT ALSO RESTRAINS INSECTPROPAGATION AND AVOIDS POLLUTION.
