Abstract

The effect of different storage conditions to paddy quality was observed Chacherngsao Agricultural Cooperative. The ambient air flow rate of 1.6 m3/min-m3 was ventilated through the paddy bulk every month, once a month for 2 hours. The results indicated that the ventilation decreased the temperature in paddy bulk. The quality of paddy stored with intermittent ventilation was better in terms of whiteness but was approximately the same in terms of head yield compared to paddy stored without ventilation.
