EDAC Electronics and Crop & Food Research have developed a new agritech product that takes the guesswork out of measuring moisture content levels of whole-crop cereals for silage production. It is ...

Determination of the optimum moisture content for seed storage is difficult because deterioration is very slow at conditions close to the optimum. We have used thermodynamic principles to relate water ...

Scientists determined if irrigation at lower, constant substrate moisture content (SMC) during greenhouse production could acclimate plants for reduced shrinkage during shelf life while conserving ...

Rice grown for seed rice was the focus of a yearlong investigation by the Arkansas Rice Processing Program using X‐ray ...

: As areca nut growing tracts in Kerala and Karnataka face the prospects of reduced fruit set and shedding of premature nuts owing to significant rise in temperature since March, the Central ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Late-summer weather has Indiana cornfields looking dry and parched, but appearances are deceiving. Inside the husk, kernel moisture content remains high – 25 percent or more in ...

Germination experiments have shown that oil palm seeds require heattreatment before they germinate. The heat-treatment is in some ways analogous to low-temperature stratification of temperate seed, as ...

Cashew crop in coastal Karnataka remains healthy under optimum soil moisture conditions. Prevailing weather outlook is favourable for cashew crop. Good monsoon ... Cashew crop in coastal Karnataka ...

As arecanut growing belts in Karnataka and Kerala are experiencing significant rise in temperature since March which can result in reduced fruit set and shedding of premature nuts, the Central ...
