Development of Grain Moisture meter with Moisture and Price Display

Abstract

Moisture content of grain is one of the important parameters always considered when deciding the quality and price of grain, at the stage of harvesting, storage, processing and marketing. Grain having excess moisture content, if stored for long duration, will spoil due to insect/fungus infestation. Portable, field usable and easy-to-use direct moisture (%) & price display Grain Moisture Meter is necessity for the benefit of farmers. The types of Grain Moisture Meters available in the market with Look up tables, which cause inconvenience when carrying out measurements. This system provide the moisture of grain but in this system we got the problem, from which the moisture percentage commodities have to be obtained due to which we get the less accuracy and it is somewhat complicated. So to overcome this problem we have developed Grain Moisture Meter which due to its novel design, eliminate this problem and gives moisture (%) and price directly on a LCD display. Miss.
