Weather Factors Affecting the Change of Kernel Moisture in Windrowed Wheat1

M. E. Dodds and W. L. Pelton2

The rate of change in kernel moisture in a windrowed crop of wheat was influenced by the vapor pressure deficit of the air. Any gain of moisture was mainly attributable to rainfall, although condensation, during extended periods of low temperatures and high humidity, contributed to an increase in kernel moisture. Windrowed wheat will continue to lose moisture until the kernels come to moisture equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere.

Key Words: Triticum aestivum L. • vapor pressure deficit • equilibrium moisture
