Identify the abiotic factor which results in storage loss. Correct Answer Moisture

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. Moisture.

Storage of Grains - 

  • In agricultural products, storage losses are very high.
  • Factors responsible for such losses are biotic and abiotic.
    • Biotic - insects, rodents, fungi, mites and bacteria, and
    • Abiotic - inappropriate moisture and temperatures in the storage place.
  • These factors cause a loss in weight, discolouration of produce, poor germinability, degradation in quality, all leading to poor marketability.
  • But these can be controlled by systematic management of warehouses and proper treatment.
