Background: Storage pests cause extensive damages to stored products and are responsible for huge post-harvest losses affecting the quality, the quantity, and the germination potential of stored grain
Historically, horticultural research has focused on increasing productivity. However, given the inelasticity of scarce resources, there is a consensus that the focus should shift to PHL reduction. The
ABSTRACT Proper sampling of grain losses during harvesting operations, with reliable and efficient sizing of sample, is necessary for an efficient adjustment of the harvester to avoid harvest losses.
