Keywords: Wheat drying, Germination rate, Microwave drying, Mathematical modeling
In order to prevent germination damage of harvested wheat seeds, faster drying techniques are preferred. Microwave drying is considered an energy efficient technique to achieve this goal. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of microwave (MW) drying on germination of wheat, using a domestic microwave oven.
