Résumé

The overall objective of the study was to determine whether storage time or storage method for maize (Zea mays) samples had any effect on maize storability test results. Storability tests involved determination of dry matter loss over time by measuring carbon dioxide produced through respiration by grain storage fungi growing on maize kernel and by any live seeds in the samples. It was found that there were essentially no differences in storability test results or microbial infection levels between freshly harvested samples and samples that were stored wet or dry at -10 °C for up to eight months. All samples used in this study dropped from US Grade No. 1 to US Grade No. 4 or worse by the time they reached 0.5% dry matter loss.
