Canada annually produces more than 27,000 tonnes of hemp seeds and unit price of hemp seeds is more valuable than other most common crops. The stored hemp seeds spoil more easily than many other stored crops, and about 5% of hemp seeds are rejected each year due to heat damage, bacterial contamination, and fungal deterioration. To decrease storage loss, safe storage guidelines for many crops have been developed. There are no safe storage guidelines for hemp seeds. Hemp farmers currently use the guidelines for canola and there is no scientific evidence to support this practice. This proposed research aims to establish the relationship of Equilibrium moisture content - Temperature - Equilibrium relative humidity and develop the safe storage guidelines for hemp seeds. The established relationship and developed safe storage guidelines, which will be used by the Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods and posted by the company through the social media such as twitter and published in scientific journals and conferences, will guide farmers to dry hemp seeds to the correct moisture content and store the hemp seeds at recommended dockage percentage, moisture content and temperature.

加拿大每年生产超过 27,000 吨大麻种子，大麻种子的单价比其他最常见的作物更有价值。储存的大麻种子比许多其他储存的作物更容易变质，每年约有 5% 的大麻种子因热损伤、细菌污染和真菌变质而被拒绝。为了减少储存损失，许多作物的安全储存指南已经制定。大麻种子没有安全储存指南。大麻农民目前使用油菜籽指南，但没有科学证据支持这种做法。本研究旨在建立平衡水分含量-温度-平衡相对湿度的关系，并制定大麻种子的安全储存指南。建立的关系和制定的安全储存指南将由 Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods 使用，并由该公司通过 Twitter 等社交媒体发布，并在科学期刊和会议上发表，将指导农民将大麻种子干燥至正确的水分含量，并按照建议的干度百分比、水分含量和温度储存大麻种子。
