Feet teaching m. Haider Hussein Ghathith at the University of Kufa – Faculty of Agriculture, the article (the correct methods of storage of wheat), in order to save the products of economic crops and the steps shown below:
In order to be operations storage crop wheat thoroughly so as to get a product well use must take into account factors
The following :
1 – to be warehouses easy – packing and unpacking, are free of moisture .
2 – to be court closure, impermeable against insects and mice free of which .
3 – to be Amqھa larger than the breadth in order to be part of the show injury direct insects less what
Can .
And the factors that occur damaged wheat when stored are : –
1 – degree humidity when storage : If storage of wheat and has a degree high of moisture , the activity fetus increases Witold of that heat leads to the growth of fungi rots on grain wheat
2 – poor storage : produced by the presence of the smell Kraھh in wheat resulting from the growth of fungi rots it,and move this smell flour or change the color of wheat and flour output it to the color of brown non grata in it and have tasted bitter .
3 – insects stores : infected wheat , much of insects stores such as licorice types and butterflies grain,
The most important factors that affect the crop are : –
Affect the quality of seeds ) seeds suitable for agriculture ( on the crop as quantity and quality . In order to ensure access to seeds , good pre – season agriculture must make sure of the quality and the quality of the seed and that registering for flour to the views fields a lot, and examination of seeds in the fields before harvest or collected, as well as in the laboratory and stored . The certificates the quality Quality seed is necessary, and must be clear where all the tests necessary , which was conducted in the field before the combination and in the laboratory and that of by hand – governmental agricultural country source Lھa to ensure access to the quality of high quality, and ensure thepurity of the product was genetically and uniformity and is free from diseases and weeds, and to ensure the vitality of seeds And ratio Germination high where .
The good qualities of seeds are : –
1 – to be represented by the same class .
2- The germination rate should be high .
3 – to be devoid of seed crops other .
4 – to be devoid of the seeds of grass and impurities .
5 – to be identical in size .
6 – to be devoid of diseases and insects . To ensure non – infected seeds diseases that move from Trivھa and prevention of seedlings of bacterial diseases found in the soil of seasons past, it is the necessary treatment of seeds before cultivated , whether produced locally or imported from abroad , disinfectants fungal appropriate .
And standard standard seed are : –
It is necessary for all those working in the agricultural field to know several terms as they clarify the quality and quality of the variety , namely :
It is the result of a generation or more of the breeder plant itself
1 – the seeds of jam, are the result of a generation or more of the breeder plant itself and under its supervision and usually what is subordinate to institute a government or university tracking system specifically difficult with fraud or manipulation . Are the seeds that produced under the responsibility of the breeder or agent certified,
2 – seed basis and sometimes be addressed government competent . It results directly from the breeding of seedbreeders . Are the seeds that produce from the seeds basis, are the seeds that produced under the responsibility of the breeder or agent certified.
3 – seeds recorded: are seeds that are produced from the seeds of the basis, and used to produce seed propagationfields .
4 – seeding with a certificate: are the seeds resulting from seeds recorded and used to produce fields of breeding orcrop the same, preferably generation the first of which . The more the multiplicity of production for generation first as degradation product and increased problems of production and it must be to be the seed of imported seeds , registered or certified.
Should when importing seeds not to focus on the source of the cheapest , but on qualitative good in terms of the high production quality and good will cover the costs of a difference price between the seeds of good and poor as well as to the seeds of poor may cost the sums of money was from the possible avoidable , such as the spread of diseases lethal or weeds in the field Or low and low production .
