dc.description.abstract	Quality of the grain depends on the interna! moisture content. Capacitance method was used to determine the moisture content of static grain with accuracy of ±0.9%. This paper represents the characteristics and operation of a handheld device which was made to give real-time moisture content readings based on the capacitance of the grain with the above accuracy for paddy.
