The dryer can take up cobbed maize with moisture content of as high as 35 per cent,” says Dr Muchilwa, adding this makes the machine different from others that only take shelled maize.

After three hours, 500 kilograms of ‘wet maize’ achieves a moisture content level of about 13.5 per cent, at which point it can be stored. Like the mechanical shelling machine which is hired ...

A recent research breakthrough by Chinese scientists allows for a reduction of around 7 percent in the moisture content of maize kernels at maturity, facilitating mechanical harvesting and threshing.

This mounted machine produces ... that in a dry season like this, moisture loss from the cultivated field will slow down the germination, and we should see the maize from the strip tillage system ...
