Abstract Alternatives to chemical fumigation, are being explored as the popular fumigants like methyl bromide and phosphine are being phased out for their ozone depleting nature and insect resistance, respectively. Vacuum hermetic storage has potential for storage of agricultural durable commodities without fumigants and can eliminate 99% of insect infestation. In present research, the vacuum hermetic storage was tested in field with assistance of sensors and compared with the conventional phosphine fumigated storage by grain quality assessment and interstitial atmosphere for six months. Relative humidity of the hermetic bags remained below 25%, whereas temperature followed the same pattern as of the ambient. Germination percentage, thousand kernel weight and besatz content did not change significantly (p > 0.05), whereas mould count and moisture content reduced over the storage time compared wheat stored in metal bin.

传感器辅助真空密闭储存对化学熏蒸小麦的功效

摘要 由于甲基溴和磷化氢等流行的熏蒸剂分别因其消耗臭氧层和抗虫性而被逐步淘汰，因此正在探索化学熏蒸的替代方法。真空密封储存具有无需熏蒸剂储存农业耐用商品的潜力，可以消除 99% 的虫害。在目前的研究中，真空密闭储存在传感器的辅助下进行了现场测试，并通过粮食质量评估和间隙气氛与常规磷化氢熏蒸储存进行了 6 个月的比较。密封袋的相对湿度保持在 25% 以下，而温度遵循与环境相同的模式。发芽率、千粒重和 besatz 含量没有显着变化（p > 0.05），
