The optimum harvest moisture content differs with each rice variety.
Verbatim
e0“Key words: Rice- Harvest-Moisture -Quality The relationship of moisture to milling quality gives growers a degree of control over head rice by allowing them to time their harvest according to moisture content. The head rice is highest when rice is harvested at moisture content greater than what is required for safe storage. Three of Egyptian varieties Sakha 101, Sakha 104 and Giza 177 were cultivated at Etai El-Barou…” Show full quote

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The optimum harvest moisture content for maximum head rice in Sakha 101 is 21-23%.
- Observation The optimum harvest moisture content for maximum head rice in Giza 177 is 20-24%.
- Observation The optimum harvest moisture content for maximum head rice in Sakha 104 is 23-26%.
- Recommendation Harvest management that times harvest by moisture content preserves rice quality, according to the authors.
- Association Moisture content is associated with milling quality of rice and is very important in the study.
