Optimal wheat storage - The importance of moisture content
Wheat, one of the most vital grains globally, requires precise storage methods to maintain its quality. AgroLog emphasized that the key to effective wheat storage is managing its moisture content.
Ideally, wheat should be dried to a moisture level of 13-14% before storage. This specific range is crucial for preventing mold, deterring pests, and reducing spoilage. With AgroLog's precision moisture meters, farmers can accurately measure and maintain this optimal moisture level, ensuring the wheat's longevity and quality during storage and even before harvest.
The Role of Moisture in Wheat Storage
Moisture levels beyond the optimal range can lead to significant issues, including grain deterioration and loss. High moisture content is a breeding ground for mold and insects, which can compromise not only the current crop but also the storage facility's future use. Conversely, overly dry wheat may lose its nutritional value and quality, affecting market price and usability.
