Wheat seed storage under tropical conditions
1988
Clements, D.J. (Bangladesh-Canada Agricultural Sector Team, Dhaka (Bangladesh))
Wheat seed storage under tropical conditions presents problems not associated with storage in traditional wheat growing areas. High temperatures and relative humidity levels are not conducive to efficient, low-cost storage methods. Farmers have adapted very well to the new matrix of problems associated with wheat seed production. A major constraint to improving the quality and quantity of seed stored at the farm level is the availability of appropriate storage containers. Another important constraint is the inability of small farmers to afford even to set aside part of their crop for seed purposes due to cash and food requirements
