What is the relationship of seed moisture content with crop yield?

01 January 2022 1 3K Report

which formula is better for crop yield adjustment?

1. AdYild = (harvested yield) * (100- field moisture content)/ (100 - standard moisture content)

2. AdYild = (harvested yield) * (1- field moisture content)/ (1 - standard moisture content)

Seeds with higher moisture content weigh more as compared to seeds with lesser moisture..if seed yield at 15% moisture content is 500 kg, if moisture reduced to 10% then seed yield will be reduced...to calculate yield with variable moisture content, following techniques may be used...

(100-a)× Y1= (100-b) Y2

So here Y2 at moisture b that is 10% will be

(100-15)× 500 kg/ (100-10)= 472 kg..
