        <dc:description>Groundnut seeds are prone to quality deterioration and damage due to improper storage. Hermetic&#13;
storage of pods offers a novel, sustainable and ecologically safe alternative over traditional methods. In&#13;
this paper, we demonstrate the efficacy of triple-layer “Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS)” bags, (that&#13;
comprises of two inner high density polyethylene bags and one outer woven polypropylene bag), for&#13;
protecting pods from quality deterioration, damage by bruchids (Caryedon serratus) and aflatoxin&#13;
contamination (Aspergillus flavus). Custom made triple-layer bags were used and pods (of cv ICGV 91114)&#13;
were placed @ 2 kg/bag. Over four months of storage under ambient conditions, triple-layer bags supported&#13;
retention of seed weight, germinability and oil content significantly better than cloth bags.&#13;
Further, under both natural and artificial infestations with A. flavus, seed aflatoxins levels were lower in&#13;
PICS bags compared to cloth bags. Toxin accumulation in PICS bags deliberately infested with bruchids&#13;
and A. flavus was less compared to cloth bags under similar conditions. Bruchid damage to pods was less&#13;
in PICS bags versus cloth bags in all cases. Our results suggest the superiority of triple-layer PICS bags&#13;
over cloth bags in protecting seed viability, seed weight and oil content while safeguarding the&#13;
groundnuts from bruchids and retarding toxin accumulation.</dc:description>
