A silo is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are commonly used for bulk storage of grain, coal, cement, carbon black, woodchips, food products and sawdust. In agriculture, a container, structure, pit or covered heap for the storage of grains, tubers, roots; also for ensilage and storage of green fodder, in which case the store is air- and water-tight.

Simmondsia chinensis Schneider (commonly identified as jojoba but is also called deer nut, oat nut, wild hazel, and coffee berry) is a promising oil seed crop for the economic development of the arid and semiarid land all over the globe. The jojoba plant is a monogenetic dioecious grey-green shrub belonging to Simmondsiaceae family. (Adapted from Al-Obaidi JR, Halabi MF, AlKhalifah NS, Asanar S, Al-Soqeer AA, Attia MF. A review on plant importance, biotechnological aspects, and cultivation challenges of jojoba plant. Biol Res. 2017 Aug 24;50(1):25. doi: 10.1186/s40659-017-0131-x.
