A knowledge-based machine vision system for grain quality inspection
… vision system was developed for automatic corn quality inspection. This system consisted of a primitive feature extraction algorithm, several quality-related feature extraction algorithms, and several knowledge-based corn quality inspection algorithms. The feature extraction and corn quality …

The Genetic Architecture of Grain Quality and its Temporal Relationship with Growth and Development in Winter Malting Barley (Hordeum vulgare)
… explores the genetic architecture of malting quality within the Virginia Tech barley breeding program, and discusses implications for imposing selection on complex traits that are difficult to phenotype. Malting quality measures are destructive, and can not be performed before selection must …

The application of Near Infrared Transmittance (NIT) individual kernel sorting technology to improve grain quality from spring and durum wheat infected with Fusarium and the effects on broiler chicken performance and immune response.
… Fusarium damaged kernels (FDK) and mycotoxins in grain. There were two objectives: 1) determine the efficiency of sorting; and 2) assess how highly contaminated sorted grain fractions can be used in dietary challenges for broilers as a screen for methods to reduce mycotoxin exposure. Fusarium …

The effect of intermediary market power on grain prices in India and Brazil
… losses, which ignores the many effects of quality loss on value, food supply, health and safety, and ultimately, physical losses. To prevent quality losses, one must understand the incentives that are causing or preventing their occurrence. I compare the financial incentives to preserve …

Application of genetic and statistical tools for improvement of Louisiana rice
Breeding for grain quality traits and resistance to sheath blight (SB), a disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, are important objectives for the rice (Oryza sativa L.) industry. Grain quality traits and SB resistance play an important role in the economic prosperity of commercial rice markets. …

Nitrogen and sulfur effects on hard winter wheat quality and asparagine concentration and survey of Kansas soil sulfur conditions
… deficiency has shown to be detrimental to wheat quality. Sulfur deficiency is detrimental to baking quality due to its effects on formation of disulfide bonds. These bonds are formed from the sulfhydryl groups of cysteine, which influence viscoelasticity of dough. Soil S deficiency can also lead …

Thresholds and Critical Growth Stages for Brown Stink Bug, Euschistus servus (Say), Management in Field Corn, Zea mays
… L. (Poaceae), in eastern Virginia where small grain (e.g., wheat, rye) production is common. In order to develop an integrated pest management (IPM) plan, research is needed to determine if brown stink bug feeding causes economic damage in maize at different growth stages and levels of …

Effects of corn quality and storage on dry grind ethanol production
… with ethanol yield variability is incoming grain quality. The main objectives of this study were to quantify ethanol yield variation over time at a dry grind facility, evaluate relationships among corn quality attributes and ethanol yields and determine physiologic changes in corn protein …

Identification of microbial diversity associated with post-harvest storage of rice in India
… biogenic amines which enhance spoilage of food grains. Aspergillus and Fusarium, on the other hand, are mycotoxigenic fungi known to produce toxins that are carcinogenic to humans. In conclusion, the microbes identified are suggestive of inappropriate post-harvest storage conditions leading to …

Modelling the microclimate in a conical bottomed circular grain silo
… the behaviour of microclimate in the stored grain silo is presented. This analysis is implemented by calculating the air pressure field within an aerated conical bottomed circular silo, to continuing prediction the velocity field. The obtaining results are used to compute the simultaneous …

Hyperspectral Imagery for Precision Agriculture
… images and corn yield and estimating corn kernel grain quality. It was found that images from the beginning of full canopy coverage to the corn ear formation period provided the best and most stable results for corn yield estimation. The significant image bands were in the red edge region at 700 …

Assessment of Bioactivity of Se-lected Plants against Pests and Microbes from Agro-pastoral Communities in Mbulu District, Tanzania
… repellence against selected storage pests and quality grains evaluation as well as phytochemicals profiles were determined using standard proce-dures. A total of 66 dentifies plant species mainly from Minosoidaceae, Solanaceae, and Euphobiaceae families were used for pesticidal and medicinal …

Szemestermények nedvességtartalmának és dielektromos jellemzőinek összefüggése = Relationship of dielectric properties and moisture content of grains
… Moisture content is one of the most important grain quality factors, and, despite the 100-year history of grain moisture meters, there are still several unanswered questions that impede the development of accurate moisture meters. Moisture meters do not directly sense moisture content but …

Detection of Fusarium Head Blight on Wheat Spikelets Using a Multi-Scale Feature Fusion CNN Model
… wheat crops, leading to reduced yields, degraded grain quality, and the accumulation of harmful mycotoxins. These mycotoxins pose severe threats to human and animal health and result in substantial economic losses. Accurate and efficient assessment of FHB disease phenotypes is crucial for …

AFLP markers linked to Fusarium head blight resistance in Triticum aestivum.
… mycotoxin accumulation, and reduced seed and grain quality. Since resistance mechanisms in wheat are complex, often being confounded by environmental effects, and there is high genotypic variance for resistance, molecular markers closely linked to FHB resistance would help in the screening of …

Stink bug-Fusarium interactions and mitigation of associated mycotoxin contamination of corn in the mid-Atlantic, U.S.
… infestations may contribute to reductions in grain quality including increased mycotoxin concentrations. Prior research on native and invasive stink bugs has focused on understanding their biology, the damage they cause, and elucidating effective and economic management strategies. However, …

Genetic mapping of agronomic traits from the interspecific cross of Oryza sativa (L.) and Oryza glaberrima (Steud.)
… and 2002, respectively. QTLs were identified for grain, milling and eating qualities and important agronomic traits such as heading date, plant height, number of tillers per plant, panicle length, grain yield and 1000-grain weight. A total of 28 QTLs were detected for 10 grain quality traits, and …
