Description
Mystery yield loss, phantom yield loss, and now invisible yield loss – all are terms used for the concept that dry matter (yield) is being lost in-field between maturity (at about 28% moisture) and harvest (approximately 15% moisture). Popular press articles continue to indicate up to 1% dry matter loss per 1% grain moisture decrease. If this amount of dry matter loss occurs, it would be significant in marketing terms. Some believe that this loss is caused by seed respiration.
