Perdas de trigo, de soja e de milho x umidade de grão durante a colheita mecanizada.

Abstract

During the process of mechanical harvesting losses occur as a consequence of internal mechanisms of the combine. There are different causes for these losses, among which the grain moisture during harvesting is the main responsible. Grain losses were monitored during the harvesting operation of wheat, soybeans, and corn, under different grain moisture contents. Results showed an interaction between grain losses and grain moisture contents for the crops studied.
