Summer storage of rice seeds

The traditional method of seed storage involves selecting a sheltered, sunny location on slightly elevated ground with low groundwater levels. The size of the pit is determined based on the amount of seeds to be stored, the terrain, and soil quality. A standard 2.5 cubic meter cellar can store up to 250 kg of rice seeds. The depth of the pit should ideally range between 1.5 to 2 meters. If the pit becomes too deep, the temperature inside rises, and the groundwater level increases, which may lead to higher moisture content in the seeds. The ideal cellar volume is around 2 cubic meters, and it should not exceed 3 cubic meters in size. Long-shaped cellars are preferable over circular ones as they better align with ground temperature, allowing for natural temperature regulation and preventing overheating or deterioration of the seeds. Before placing seeds in the cellar, it's recommended to freeze a 3–6 cm layer of soil on top and defrost a 6–10 cm layer inside the cellar. Storing seeds too early when temperatures are unstable may cause damage from sudden cold, reducing germination rates. Delaying the process too long might result in rising temperatures and increased groundwater, leading to dampness and loss of viability. After placing the seeds in the cellar, they should be covered with cold material and not exposed immediately, as this could damage the seed coat and lower germination rates. It's best to gradually air-dry the seeds before fully drying them to enhance their germination potential. Another method is warm storage, where heating equipment such as a furnace or a ground fire wall is installed in the storage area. Heating is applied when the temperature drops, especially during early mornings when temperatures are lowest. The storage temperature should be adjusted according to the moisture content of the seeds. When the moisture is low, the temperature can be kept lower, while higher moisture requires a warmer environment. For seeds with about 16% moisture, the storage temperature should be maintained between 0°C and 5°C to ensure optimal preservation. For home storage, a simple method involves placing a wooden board 15 to 30 cm high in the living room or between two boards facing north and south. Seeds are then placed on the board in 3 to 5 bags during winter. This method functions like a mini-greenhouse, taking advantage of the relatively stable and dry indoor temperature. As the room remains warm and less humid, the seeds gradually lose moisture, making them safer and more viable. During storage, avoid moving the seeds in and out of the house or placing them near areas with high humidity, such as near cooking pots, to prevent moisture absorption and reduced germination power. Cold storage is suitable for seeds with moisture content below 14%. This method is often used in libraries or similar environments. If the warehouse floor lacks a proper base, cushions and wooden planks should be laid down first. Grass curtains and mats are then used to cover the floor and protect against humidity. Once the area is prepared, the curtains are closed, and grass curtains are wrapped around the space. A straw roof is also added on top for extra insulation. For outdoor storage, seeds with low moisture content can be stored in open areas. Choose a sheltered spot on elevated ground. A layer of dry straw 15 to 30 cm thick is spread on the ground, followed by straw curtains or mats. The seeds are then placed in the center, forming a pile 2 to 3 meters high, and covered tightly with additional straw. Since the northern and western sides of the area tend to be colder and windier, the protective layer should be thicker in those directions to maintain better temperature stability and preserve seed quality.

Disposable Laparoscopic Trocar

Disposable laparoscopic trocars are typically made of plastic or metal and are designed for single-use only. They are available in a range of sizes and shapes to accommodate different patient needs and surgical procedures. The trocar is typically inserted into the patient's abdomen using a technique called "blind insertion," which involves inserting the trocar through the skin without direct visualization of the underlying tissue.

The disposable nature of these trocars makes them a convenient and cost-effective option for many surgical procedures. They are also less likely to cause infections or other complications compared to reusable trocars, as they are sterile and do not require cleaning or sterilization between uses. However, it is important to follow proper disposal procedures to prevent contamination and ensure patient safety.

Disposable trocars are designed for single use, reducing the risk of infection and cross-contamination between patients. Trocars are usually made of plastic and come in a variety of sizes, depending on the size of the incision and the surgical instruments used.
