Important tips for the storage of wheat crop

  • At present, wheat threshing work is going on in full swing in the fields. After this, the next process is wheat storage.

  • While storing wheat, keeping the following things in mind, you can keep the grains safe for a long time-

  • The grains should not have more than 10-12% moisture content for safe storage. Excess moisture makes the grain prone to pest and fungus outbreaks. Therefore, dry the wheat thoroughly before storage, after drying, if the grain breaks with the sound of cracking when pressed with the teeth, then understand that it is completely dry and is fit for storage.

  • After drying the grains in the sun, keep them in the shade for some time before storage, so that the heat of the grains goes out.

  • To keep the grain safe from pests, clean the godowns thoroughly before storing them, and burn neem leaves and smoke in the warehouse.

  • Use chemical grain gold @ 1 ampule per quintal of grains while storing or after storage, the warehouse should be closed by keeping two tablets of aluminium phosphide 3 gm per tonne of grains.

Crab farming can be beneficial for farmers

The demand for the crab found in the mud has increased very much abroad. Indian farmers can also earn good income from crab farming. The larger species of crabs are known as “green mud crab” and the smaller species are known as “red claw”. The demand for both these species is very high in the domestic and foreign market.

Crab Types

Crab farming can be done in two ways. One is the grow-out method and the other is the fattening method. Under the grow-out method, small crabs are left in the pond for 5-6 months to increase the expected size. At the same time, small crabs are followed in the fattening method. In this, the weight of 200 grams of crab increases by 25-50 grams in 1 month. This process of weight gain continues for 9–10 months.

After good adherence, the crabs reach 1 to 2 kg of weight. Its demand is very high in both foreign and domestic markets, so it is more likely to get good profits from it.
