Synopsis

Providing a complete overview of grain storage systems, this comprehensive reference takes a multidisciplinary approach to grain storage research - applying knowledge from the fields of biology, cereal chemistry, economics, engineering, mathematical modeling, and toxicology to the study of the complex interactions among physical and biological variables in stored-grain bulks that cause the deterioration of stored grain.
Covering grain storage practices in subtropical, tropical, and temperate climate regions, Stored-Grain Ecosystems details the prevention and control of pests and contaminants, including live insects and mites, insect fragments, microflora, mycotoxins, and pesticides ... discusses how expert systems can use models to predict when insects or molds will become a problem in stored grain ... outlines postharvest loss reduction activities for several developing countries ... evaluates physical methods for the control of insect populations in stored-grain ecosystems ... summarizes the geometrical, thermal, hygroscopic, and mechanical properties of both bulk grain and single grain kernels ... reviews mathematical models of heat, moisture, and gas transfer in stored-grain ecosystems ... examines the various species of insects that infest stored rice and the damage they cause ... and more.
