Ghana Bags Backpacks Black History Studies Pics bags are an effective, cost efficient, and insecticide free on farm storage. this gives farmers the flexibility to sell their grains when they choose, when it is most profitable and while ensuring a healthy and clean food supply to their families and customers. In this study, the efficacy of the purdue improved crop storage (pics) bag was compared with a polypropylene (pp) bag stored with maize treated with betallic super ec chemical and pp bag.
Ghana Bags Backpacks Black History Studies Pics bags are triple layer bags with two layers of polyethylene inside a woven sack, selling for between $2 and $4, depending on the region. these bags have the purpose of eliminating insect damage in grain stores and give farmers more selling flexibility by allowing for proper grain storage options in africa during the off season. Thanks to financial support from our generous donors, gbs is providing pics bags, and education on how to use them, to almost 140 farmers, organized into 14 microloan and savings groups, in six small towns in ghana’s volta region. Pics triple layer grain storage bags were tested for maize storage in west africa. tests were conducted in burkina faso, benin and ghana. pics bags proved effective for protecting maize against major storage pests. storage of dry maize in pics bags for 6.5 months allowed good germination. A proven technology effective in reducing grain damage and losses from insect pests. in this study, the efficacy of the purdue improved crop storage (pics) bag was compared with a polypropylene (pp) bag stored with maize treated with betallic super ec chemical and pp bag st.

In a significant move to combat post harvest losses and enhance food security, ghanaian farmers have recently received training on the purdue improved crop storage (pics) technology. The purdue improved crop storage (pics) bags which were introduced primarily into northern ghana some years ago to help curtail the high incidence of post harvest losses among small holder farmers has now been embraced by farmers and food aggregators across the country. The results showed that pics bags can be effective in protecting maize grains during storage. smallholder farmers are therefore encouraged to consider this technology especially for controlling insect pests of stored maize. This study was conducted to verify the efficiency of the pics storage bags for protecting stored maize against insect pests as compared to polypropylene (pp) bags, which is the commonest method or practice for maize storage in ghana.
