1. 13/07/2023 Cet article résume les recherches de ECHO publiées dans Experimental Agriculture par Trail et al. (2022). De nombreux petits exploitants agricoles dans les tropiques n’ont pas d’électricité ou n’ont pas accès à des équipements pour le stockage des semences à température contrôlée. Il existe...
  2. Ressource principale Introduction Given the proper facilities necessary to store seeds long-term, whereby low temperature and low humidity are kept stable over time, it is very possible to store most orthodox seeds for several years at a time in the tropics (Harrington, 1972).

Seed pests and the loss of seed viability are among the main risks faced by farmers and seed banks. ScientistsLawrence et. al.recently found that vacuum sealing significantly reduces stored...
  6. Agronomy for Sustainable Development Brian Lawrence, Abram Bicksler, Kimberly Duncan Abstract : Prevention of pests while maintaining viable seed during storage is often challenging for smallholder farmers in the tropics and subtropics. Investment in costly technologies or storage equipment is...
