Low-cost modified-atmosphere hermetic storage structures to reduce storage losses of maize (Zea mays L.) cobs and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) heads.

The study demonstrated that storage structures supported with PVC bags are efficient and low-cost structures for reducing storage-related losses and supporting food security efforts as compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, the bags can be made locally and with various storage capacities to store either shelled or unshelled products. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
