Wheat Storage Secrets: Keep Pests Away for Years with These Home Remedies

• Agricultural expert Devendra Nagpure advises on chemical and organic preservation methods for wheat storage.
• For chemical preservation, use 10-gram aluminum phosphide tablets for every 10 quintals of wheat in an airtight drum.
• Organic methods include using slaked lime pouches, dried neem leaves, matchsticks, or dried red chilies to repel pests.
• Store wheat only in the afternoon when humidity is low; avoid morning and evening storage.
• Ensure wheat is thoroughly cleaned, free of soil and weed seeds, and lightly mix with mustard oil before storage to deter pests.
