Crop | Procedure |
---|---|
Note: For beans, the ‘damp’ moisture range is over 18%. | |
Azuki Beans | Use the CGC Cranberry Bean Chart #2 with a 250 gram sample and subtract 2.5% moisture from the chart result. |
Dutch Brown Beans | Use the CGC Pea Bean Chart #2 and subtract 1.1% moisture from the chart result. |
Eastern White Kidney Beans | Use the CGC Dark Red Kidney Beans Chart #2 and add 0.5 to the result. |
Great Northern White Beans | Use the CGC Pea Bean Chart #2 and subtract 1.4% moisture from the chart result. |
Kintoki Beans | Use the CGC Dark Red Kidney Bean Chart #2 and read the results directly. |
Light Red Kidney Beans | Use the CGC Dark Red Kidney Beans Chart #2 and read the results directly. |
Otebo Beans | Use the CGC Pea Bean Chart # 2 and subtract 0.3% from the chart result. |
Pink Beans | Use the CGC Pea Bean Chart #2 and subtract 1.1% moisture from the chart result. |
Small Red Beans | Use the regression formula: % moisture = 0.155 X meter reading + 8.03 + {0.1 X (22 - T)} T = sample temperature (C) Sample Size -- 250 grams |
Mixed Grain | Use the conversion table and the tough and damp limits of the predominant grain. |
