Copra Drying. I. Comparison Between The Recommended Practice And Farmers' Practice Of Splitted-Nut Arrangement Before Drying

Abstract:

Experiment was conducted to compare the recommended practice (RP) of arranging splitted nuts on drying platform before drying with farmers' practice (FP) in terms of rate and uniformity in moisture reduction of copra. Results indicate that FP is better than RP. Follow-up studies are underway.
