Bengal gram — 7Harvest, storage & transport

  • Storing seed safely (pulse beetle)

    Dry the seeds adequately to bring moisture down to 10%. Use pitfall traps (or the two-in-one model trap) to find when pulse beetles from the field emerge in storage, and sun-dry the produce accordingly. Pack in polythene-lined gunny bags for storage.
