TL;DR: A series of investigations culminated in a recommendation that farmers could economically protect sorghum which is to be stored for more than six months in mud granaries if 0·5 per cent lindane dust is applied to unthreshed Sorghum as a “sandwich” treatment, at a rate equivalent to 10 ppm threshed grain.

The insect infestation of sorghum stored in granaries in Northern Nigeria
TL;DR: Sorghum heads stored in granaries made of plant materials such as grass matting and cereal stems are more severely damaged by insects than those stored in dried-mud granaries, probably due to a higher rate of immigration in the former.
