| At present, mechanical harvester call combine harvester of which cutting, threshing and cleaning performed in one machine are highly popular among local farmers as a solution for labor scarcity during harvesting season. However, most of the farmers interpret without proper evidence that germination of rice seeds can be lost due to mechanical harvesting by combine harvester. Therefore this study was conduct for scientific evaluation of mechanical harvester for seed damage and germination. Four types of available commercial combine harvester machine brands namely Kubota, Mubota, Agrotech and Class were used for this experiment. During the experiment, machines were operated under standard operating conditions as mention in the machine manufactures. The 40m2... |

| This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of modified atmospheric conditions (MAC) created in large capacity hermetically sealed soybean storage in comparison to ambient warehouse soybean storage. Change of physiochemical properties of soybean such as hardness, 1000 seed mass, bulk density, color, moisture content (MC) under sealed hermetic condition was evaluated. As well, change of biological condition such as germination percentage (GMP) and change of nutritive property such as protein content (PC) of soybean stored under MAC (sealed hermetic condition) were evaluated. Similarly change of those all physiochemical, biological and nutritive properties under ambient warehouse conditions were evaluated and these values were compared with their... |

| Soaking of paddy (rough rice) is the most time-consuming operation in the paddy parboiling process. A Hot water soaking in two temperatures of paddy parboiling has developed based on the gelatinization temperature of rice starch to achieve rapid completion of absorption of water into the rice kernel. This study was conducted to eliminate the steaming process in paddy parboiling without loosening the parboiled rice qualities such as less broken grain percentage, high head rice yield percentage and kernel hardness. Treatments also caused to improve kernel whiteness and palatability characteristic of rice. BG 358 rice variety (short grain rice) was used for the experiment. Experiment had two treatments and existing method was kept as the control. Out of these... |
