METHOD FOR CONSERVING FRESHLY HARVESTED GRAIN Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with technology for conserving freshly harvested grain by applying organic substances. Grain flow as falling rain is treated with propionic acid flow sprayed with carbon dioxide supplemented with preparation obtained out of Pythium insidiosum micromycete biomass by the preset technology. During the contact propionic acid eliminates grain's surface microflora. Combination of certain substances induces resistant protective reactions of plants. Carbon dioxide restrains the development of acid-resistant aerobic forms of microflora. EFFECT: higher reliability of storage. 2 ex
