Grain admixtures
These are grains of the main crop that differ from sound, mature grains due to physical damage, immaturity, or biological degradation, but are not classified as...
Storage and economics
Grain aeration
This is the process of forcing air through a grain bulk to reduce its temperature, remove excess moisture, and prevent spoilage during storage.
Storage and economics

This is a storage technology for grain and forage that involves placing agricultural products into hermetically sealed, large-capacity plastic bags directly on...
Storage and economics
Grain compaction coefficient
A numerical value representing the reduction in volume of a grain mass when it settles under its own weight or external pressure.
Storage and economics
Grain conditioning to base standards
A set of technological operations involving cleaning, drying, and aeration to bring grain quality parameters in line with official or contractual standards.
Storage and economics
Grain fractional composition

Storage and economics
Grain uniformity
A quality metric representing the consistency of grain size within a batch, measured by the percentage of kernels retained on specific sieve sizes.
Storage and economics
