IMPROVED SENSING SYSTEMS FOR GRAIN QUALITY MEASUREMENT AND STORAGE

Objective

The objectives of this cooperative research are to 1) develop grain quality measurement methods to enable sorting for particular attributes of single seeds using near- and mid- infrared spectroscopy and 2) develop improved grain storage monitoring methods through the innovative use of carbon dioxide (CO2), relative (RH) humidity and temperature (T) sensing systems.
