eSEC value of 0.49 and the SEP value of 0.60 were better than the 0.88 for SEC and 0.91 for SEP obtained
earlier with small wheat samples (Kandala et al., 1996). Shown in Figure 75.4 are the comparison of the
predicted and the air-oven values of the seven calibration wheat lots. An R

value of 0.99 further indicates
the tness of the calibration equation. Similarly in Figure 75.5, the MC values of the validation samples of
wheat are compared with their respective air-oven values and plotted. e predicted MC values compare
