“…The pod bead ratio of 1:1 was found more effective than other doses. The outcome of this study is also in line with the findings of Sultana et al [8] who reported that the green gram seeds stored in hermetic container with zeolite beads resulted in 9.00% pod damage whereas it was 9.33% in sodium aluminium silicate after 6 months of treatment. Similar type of result were found with Jyothsna [9], who revealed that the pods mixed with beads in 1:1 ratio was highly effective in reducing the damage caused by C. serratus after 3, 6 and 9 months of storage.…”

“…Similar type of results were reported by Sultana et al [8] who observed that green gram seeds mixed with drying beads recorded the lowest oviposition (10 to13 eggs per10 g of seeds) by Callosobruchus chinensis after six months of storage. The seed moisture content was the primary factor limiting oviposition, rather than whether the storage container was hermetic.…”

“…These beads absorbed the moisture from the pods and created unsuitable environment for insect development and infestation. Sultana et al [8] supported the present findings where the greengram seeds mixed with sodium aluminium silicate beads and zeolite beads resulted in significantly less weight loss after 6 months of storage. The present findings are also in accordance with Jyothsna [9], who revealed that the groundnut pods mixed with beads in 1:1 ratio was highly effective and resulted in low weight loss (7.82%) as compared to 12.38% weight loss observed with 1:0.7 dose after 6 months of storage.…”

“…The infestation due to stored grain insect pests also stimulates the growth of fungus as the moisture content of the seeds increases which in turn reduces the quality and viability of the seeds [6]. Desiccant-based drying can be more effective under these conditions and desiccants such as zeolite beads [7] and sodium aluminum silicate have been used for seed drying [8]. Very limited work has been done to study their role in management of stored grain insect pests.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of desiccant beads on the stored groundnut against groundnut bruchid, Caryedon serratus Olivier. The experiment was carried out in the storage laboratory of Department of Entomology, OUAT, Bhubaneswar during 2019-20 in Completely Randomised Design. Groundnut pods(100 grams) in each treatment were mixed with 2 types of beads viz., zeolite beads and sodium aluminium silicate in four different ratios (1:1, 1:0.9, 1:0.8, 1:0.7) along with an untreated control and the observations on the fecundity, adult emergence, weight loss(%), moisture content, germination(%) were recorded during 6 months of storage at an interval of 60 days. Among the different treatments, the pods mixed with zeolite beads in 1:1 ratio was found to be the most superior treatment after 2, 4 and 6 months with the lowest fecundity (14.67, 25.67 and 34.33 eggs, respectively) and adult emergence (10.00, 17.33 and 25.00 adults, respectively). However, all the treatment dosages were found significantly superior over control which recorded maximum weight loss due to bruchid infestation. It was also noted that there was reduction in moisture content of the groundnut kernels with the increase of storage period with desiccant beads as these beads absorbed the moisture from the groundnut and created unsuitable environment for insect development and infestation. These beads did not show any adverse effects on the germination of groundnut.

“…For use in planting, seeds will be stored such that an acceptable level of physiological quality (viability, vigor) will be maintained over the expected storage period. As a commodity, seeds (“grain” in the case of cereal seeds) will be stored to avoid losses due to, for example, insects, fungi and biochemical reactions (Mahapatra and Lan, 2007 ; Sultana et al, 2021 ; Ziegler et al, 2021 ). The actual storage conditions will depend on the expected storage period, i.e., how long the seeds need to be stored to meet demand before new seeds are produced.…”

Seed Moisture Isotherms, Sorption Models, and Longevity

Seed moisture sorption isotherms show the equilibrium relationship between water content and equilibrium relative humidity (eRH) when seeds are either losing water from a hydrated state (desorption isotherm) or gaining water from a dry state (adsorption isotherm). They have been used in food science to predict the stability of different products and to optimize drying and/or processing. Isotherms have also been applied to understand the physiological processes occurring in viable seeds and how sorption properties differ in relation to, for example, developmental maturity, degree of desiccation tolerance, or dormancy status. In this review, we describe how sorption isotherms can help us understand how the longevity of viable seeds depends upon how they are dried and the conditions under which they are stored. We describe different ways in which isotherms can be determined, how the data are modeled using various theoretical and non-theoretical equations, and how they can be interpreted in relation to storage stability.

Storage is an essential component of seed programmes, which primarily aims at maintaining the high-quality standards of the seed from harvest till the time of sowing the crop in the next or successive seasons. In addition to this, seeds are also stored for longer durations to maintain stocks for seed trade at national and international levels as per market demands and as a buffer against crop failures in times of natural calamities or other exigencies, to maintain seeds of the parental lines for hybrid seed production in one or more seasons, to conserve active genetic stocks for breeding purposes, and to maintain germplasm for long term use. Seeds of most of the agriculturally important species are categorised as orthodox or desiccation-tolerant. Their longevity increases with decrease in storage temperature and the relative humidity of the storage environment (or seed moisture content). However, notwithstanding the constitutional differences among plant species concerning seed longevity, being a living entity, every seed undergoes deteriorative changes during storage, even in dry stores, primarily in terms of germination and vigour due to physiological deterioration, and changes brought by the presence of the pests and pathogens. A good seed programme aims at maintaining the high planting value of the seed in terms of purity, germination, vigour, and seed health during storage by taking care in seed handling, controlling the temperature and relative humidity of the store (or seed moisture in case of hermetically sealed containers), and following good sanitation practices. Considering that the facilities for conditioned storage may not be accessible and affordable in many situations, alternative solutions may be considered, especially for on-farm seed storage.
