Summary
This improves the grower's gross margin by limiting yield losses due to grains eaten by bruchids after harvest and also improves the quality of batches intended for human consumption.
| EPrint Type: | Practice tool |
|---|---|
| Teaser: | Important considerations for lentil production. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | In organic and conventional pulse crops, bruchid larvae penetrate green seeds and develop by feeding on them (Figure 1). This leads to a reduction in harvest quality and an average yield loss of 20%, varying from year to year and region to region. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | The solution proposed to limit the development of bruchids, tested on lentils, consists of early harvesting of the grains, immediate cleaning and sorting of the grains followed by elimination of the bruchids by heat, freezing or asphyxiation. |
