| Sun drying | Post harvest management | Sun drying is the traditional method for reducing the moisture content (MC) of paddy by spreading the grains in the sun. The solar radiation heats up the grains as well as the surrounding air and thus increases the rate of water evaporating from the grains. | options for sun drying of rice, process of sun drying rice, panicle drying, rice drying mats, traditional drying of rice |

| Heated air dying & low temperature drying | Post harvest management | Heated air drying and low temperature drying (also referred to as near ambient drying or in-store drying) employ two fundamentally different drying principles. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages and are sometimes used in combination e.g., in two stage drying systems. | heated air drying, low-temperature drying, average moisture content of rice, fixed bed batch dryers , heated air drying vs low-temperature drying |

| Energy options for rice drying | Post harvest management | A mechanical dryer for rice needs energy for two purposes: 1. For moving air through the bulk of the rice grain. 2. For heating up the drying air so that it can absorb more water from the wet grains. | energy for rice drying, energy required for rice drying, energy options for rice drying, low temperature drying, mechanical dryer |

| Composting rice residue | Post harvest management | Compost is the relatively stable product that results after organic materials — such as crop residues and animal manure — decompose. Compost usually contains relatively low amounts of major nutrients. In general, carbon (C) is reduced and other nutrients are concentrated during composting. | what is compost, composting rice residue, how to create compost using rice residue, advantages of compost |
