Course description

The Engineering Properties of Agricultural Produce involve studying physical, mechanical, thermal, and optical characteristics of crops. These properties influence harvesting, processing, storage, and transportation efficiency. Understanding factors like size, shape, moisture content, and texture helps optimize agricultural machinery and post-harvest technology. This knowledge enhances food quality, reduces losses, and improves overall agricultural productivity.
