Question

Q1. Why is it necessary to reduce moisture from newly harvested crop before storage?

Answer 1

Answer:

If freshly harvested grains are stored without drying they may spoil or get attacked by microorganisms, losing their germination capacity. Hence, before storing them the grains are properly dried in the sun to reduce moisture in them. This prevents the attack by insects, pests, bacteria, and fungi.
