Answer 2

Four factors that spoil grains in storage are

(1) moisture; (2)temperature; (3) initial condition of the grain; and (4) insects and molds.

• Grains are perfectly dried under the sun to reduce the moisture in them without it the grain may get spoil by developing micro-organisms
• grain temperature also plays an important role in grain spoiling.
• Quality of grain is very important we can not do anything about quality after storage therefore initially we should observe the quality to make sure grain will not spoil easily
• Although insect and molds problem does not occur immediately in the grain after storing for some time it may develop the insect so we should take care of that also.
