Proper treatment of stored crops, including fumigation, use of insecticides or fungicides, and adoption of good sanitation practices, can help control biotic factors contributing to storage losses. Additionally, maintaining appropriate moisture levels and temperatures in storage facilities, employing effective ventilation systems, and regularly inspecting stored crops for signs of deterioration are crucial for managing abiotic factors.
