BASIS OF CATEGORIZATION OF WHEAT

The basis of categorization is by volume cum count method.From out of the sieved sample 20 cc of representative sample may be measured out with the help of a measuring cylinder.This quantity shall then be analyzed on a sample plate for  categorization of the stock.The weeviled grains as well as the the touched germ eater grains shall be picked out and measured separately.If the % of theweeevild grains aloone by the volume goes beyond 3.5% then the % of weeviled grains should be determined by count.
