With 30 years of professional experience in the agriculture industry, we understand the critical role that moisture meters play in determining grain quality. Maintaining an acceptable moisture level is one of the most critical elements in successful grain storage. Everyone knows the importance of monitoring ...
Last season they launched their fuel monitoring system, TELUS Farm Fuel Management, and this fall they are expanding the software to grain bins. With the TELUS Farm Bin Management system, growers can set alerts when temperature or moisture readings exceed a predetermined level to gain up-to-date insights into how their commodities are performing ...
Controlling the temperature and moisture levels in grain storage is crucial for their overall quality and edibility because insects and mould are dependent on the temperature and moisture of the stored grains. ...
Insects and mould are dependent on the temperature and moisture of the stored grains, with mould being the more common of the two for grain spoilage. ...
They use sophisticated gas sensors that can be connected to the internet in order to control not only the temperature, light level and water, but also the level of nutrients, humidity, pH and Carbon Dioxide within the atmosphere. ...
And the continued wet weather means that now high and variable grain moisture levels are presenting problems with grain handling and storing. ...
Therefore CO2 gas sensors are vital, such as the Boxed Gascard from Edinburgh Sensors, which guarantees optimum conditions for plant growth. Detecting Spoilage of Stored Grains Over 50% of stored grains are lost after harvesting due to spoilage caused by mould or insect infestation, which could be combatted by the early detection of spoilage with gas sensors ...
