Abstract:The reserve capacity became increasing with the strategic needs in national grain reserves. However, the eco-climate conditions for grain reserve in South China, such as high temperature and humidity, were unfavorable for grain reserves. For the safe storage of soybean, the initial quality, storage characteristics in squat silos and storage conditions for soybean samples imported from Feb, 2008, were analyzed. The effects of three methods (traditional storage, high-concentration phosphine fumigation and temperature-control storage) on soybean reserve were discussed in order to develop a new method for the safe storage of imported soybean in squat silos in South China.
