Abstract:

Agricultural products play an essential role in stabilizing the country economy. Third largest sector of Indian economy is agricultural products. In agricultural products the important factor for post harvesting, processing, storage and transport, is moisture, which affect their quality. In modern agriculture fast, non-destructive and reliable sensing technique for determination of moisture content in agricultural crops is required to prevent the losses and to improve efficiency of production. Various techniques are available for moisture sensing in agricultural products and better results have been achieved with use for these techniques. The performance of developed method for moisture sensing is comparable with that of commercial moisture meter. The most reliable solution for measuring the moisture content of agricultural products and non-destructive method is use of bulk density dielectric function. This paper reviews the area of moisture determination methods for various agricultural products and summarizing the various electrical methods for moisture determination.
