MOCHAMMAD MAKSUM, University of the Philippines at Los Banos, December 1984, Storage of Paddy Rice in Bamboo-Cement Silo. Major Professor: Dr, Ernesto P, Lozada

Bulk storage of paddy rice in bamboo-cement silos as an alternative method for the storage of paddy rice at the farm household level, was studied and compared to that stored in metal silos and in bamboo baskets. The cylindrical storage bins, three units for each type, were of the same size and measured 140 centimeters in inside diameter and 125 centimeters in height.

There were substantial changes in the moisture contents of paddy rice during the storage period of six months, The averages of grain moisture contents in the bamboo-cement silo, metal silo, and bamboo basket were 14,39 percent, 13.31 percent, and 13.95 percent with standard deviations of 0.62, 1,08, and 0.44, respectively. The fluctuation of ten:perature in the metal silo was the highest whereas in bamboo baskets, it was the lowest.

Based on the milling yield, the paddy rice stored in the bamboo-cement silo had higher milling yield than that stored in the metal silo and bamboo basket, The bamboo-cement and metal silos had paddy rice with less insect density than that in the bamboo basket, However, the percentage infestation of paddy rice stored in the three storage facilities were not statistically different, The percentage of germination of the seeds stored in the bamboo-cement silo, metal silo, and bamboo basket were 64,70 percent, 75.48 percent, and 81.41 percent, respectively,

The bamboo-cement and metal silos had higher storage costs per kilogram of paddy rice due to the initial investments. Their storage costs were 7.03, 9.61, and 5.45 rupiahs per kilogram. of paddy rice, respectively, |

It can be concluded that based on the higher milling yield and less insect infestation, the storage of paddy rice in bamboo-cement silo can be proposed as an alternative method for farm household level storage of paddy rice, especially for the purposes of consumption, In terms of seeds viability, metal silo and bamboo basket stored better than bamboo-cement silo but had lower milling yields.
