Comparative analysis of hybrid underground pit storage structure for yam and sweet potato tubers
Poljoprivredna tehnika, 2022 Storage of crop as post-harvest operation is very important, in order to reduce wastage during the season of the crop, maintain the quality of the crop, to meet up with demand in times of scarcity and reduce price cost. This can be achieved with the design and construction of a good storage structure.
