Sustainable storage methods for preserving sorghum grain quality in agronomic systems

Abstract

Sorghum, a staple grain for millions worldwide, plays a vital role in agronomic systems. However, post-harvest losses due to inadequate storage methods significantly impact its quality and availability. This paper explores sustainable storage methods, their benefits, and the role they play in reducing grain losses and enhancing sorghum's nutritional and economic value. By integrating traditional and modern techniques, this study highlights the importance of hermetic storage, biopolymer coatings, and controlled atmospheres in achieving sustainable agricultural practices.
