Abstract EN

Wheat is at the forefront of strategic crops in the world due to its nutritional importance, which constitutes a food source for more than 35% of the world's population.

it is one of the most important grain crops, and it covers the largest cultivated area on the surface of the earth, and is the first crop in Iraq in terms of cultivated area, but it is not self-sufficient and one of the most important reasons is the loss and waste of this crop before and after harvest.

therefore, the research aimed to study the importance of applying the optimal storage of wheat in the central silos (silos) of the general company for grain trading, and the Taji silo was chosen as an application model for this research for the year 2019 to reduce the loss of wheat grains in the granary, and the results indicated that the effect of the lack of maintenance and periodic sterilization the stores and the ineffectiveness of the storage safety devices have a great impact that increases the loss of wheat, as the values of the arithmetic averages ranged from 4.7 to 1.7 of the five-point Likert scale to the highest value of the paragraph of work on the development of old silos and work to increase the storage capacities of their stores (gasoline, bunker, roofing) the minimum value of the dispersion factor was 11.03, which indicates the importance of this paragraph.

therefore, it is recommended that the conditions for optimal storage of wheat in silos should be applied through the installation and maintenance of sifting systems and temperature and humidity control devices, and the continuous movement of the grains stored in gases and their ventilation to prevent clumping and rotting of grains as well disinfection, cleaning and fogging of warehouses before marketing the crop.
