The effect soil moisture on grain losses of harvesting paddy in mechanization: case study / Amir Hamzah Ahmad
The effect of paddy fields soil moisture on grain loss in mechanized rice harvesting were assessed in 1 ha of paddy field area located in Sawah Kundang, Telok Rimba, Sungai Mati, Ledang, Johor. Total of 25 randomized samples from 5 blocks were assessed in this study. An average of soil moisture cont...
