Grain Storage and Handling in Australia CDROM

The 'Grain Storage and Handling in Australia' CDROM has been produced by CSIRO Entomology from resources made available by the commodity storage research team within the Division, the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research and the Kondinin Group.

The CDROM provides an overview of grain storage and handling, with particular reference to the Australian situation. Information on procedures and storage technologies, however, are generally applicable worldwide. A comprehensive listing of publications of the former CSIRO Stored Grain Research Laboratory is also listed.

The CDROM includes coverage of phosphine and carbon dioxide fumigation of grain in the ASEAN region in a series of three manuals produced by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (Canberra) in collaboration with the former ASEAN Food Handling Bureau (Kuala Lumpur). These manuals describe general fumigation principals and the fumigation of bag-stacks sealed in plastic enclosures.

The Internet browser is used as a means to access material on the CDROM. There are a number external links listed where additional information can be sought. The CDROM has been designed to display at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. Adobe Reader® will be required to download the PDF files.

The CDROM can be purchased from the SGRL for $AU35.00, plus cost of postage and handling.
