Modelling and optimising the nexus between operating parameters of combine harvester and grain loss during harvest in Malaysian paddy field / Nor Azi Asminda Johari

Paddy cultivation is one of the largest contributors to feeding Malaysian since it serves as a staple food. Harvesting is the most critical factor that should be given big attention in paddy cultivation since it directly affects the grain loss in the field. During the operation, improper management...
