The new supportive grain management process ‘iGRAIN®CARE’ builds on past experiences with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems and processes. It’s important to emphasise that grain monitoring is the key to know the real grain condition in each grain silo. This understanding is the basis for an updated IPM strategy to preserve the stored grain in optimal condition and avoid losses.

Barley is a delicate commodity and requires care and attention to maintain quality. This sounds easy but in reality, a lot of barley is lost during storage because it has not been properly monitored with adequate sensors, and the aeration control has not been performed according to scientific recommendations. This article gives an overview over the key issues to store barley without losses.

As the global population is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, meeting the food demand requires approximately 50% more food production. A critical yet often overlooked issue is postharvest loss (PHL). A new technology from iGRAIN can now monitor the grain, to successfully maintain high-quality grain and reduce losses.
