Introduction to paddy drying
See also: IRRI rice fact sheet
IRRI related video on Paddy Drying:
Drying is the process that reduces grain moisture content to a safe level for storage. Drying is the most critical operation after harvesting a rice crop. Delays in drying, incomplete drying or ineffective drying will reduce grain quality and result in losses.
Drying and storage are related processes. Storage of incompletely dried grain with a higher than acceptable moisture content will lead to failure regardless of what storage facility is used. In addition, the longer the grain is to be stored, the lower the required grain moisture content must be.
