Evaluating Economic Impacts of Switchgrass Harvest Time
… cost of modified sale dates, and post-harvest storage losses. This harvest date analysis leads to a profit maximizing harvest date from the perspective of the producer. While this harvest date may be optimal for the producer, biorefineries may be interested in sourcing switchgrass earlier and …

Influence of lipid antioxidants on soybean seed storage life
In-storage losses of seed vigor, i.e., aging, that occur between harvest and planting may leave soybeans essentially worthless as seed. Peroxidation of lipids, with resultant loss of membrane integrity, is theorized to be a primary event in seed aging. Lipid antioxidants might have the potential to …

Comparative Resistance of Maize populations to the maize weevil,Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky
Storage losses present a major threat to food security among the small-holder farmers in Africa. The Maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, is one of the most important storage pest for which breeding for resistance is the best option for reducing storage losses. A study was conducted to …

Variation in tree mortality and regeneration affect forest carbon recovery following fuel treatments and wildfire
… treatments immediately reduce forest carbon storage, losses may be paid back over the long-term if treatment sufficiently reduces future wildfire severity. Less severe wildfire produces fewer direct and indirect carbon emissions, and severely burned stands may be more susceptible to …

Design and Development of a Low-cost Acoustic Device to Detect Pest Infestation in Stored Maize
… in stored maize is one of the major post-harvest losses occurring in developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. To reduce economic losses, separation of infested grains from clean ones is critical and requires detection of infestation in stored grains. This study aimed at developing a …
