dc.description.abstractPhysical properties often required for designing the equipments for planting, harvesting and post harvest operations. Now-a-days, all developed and developing countries are boosting the production of coarse grain as its importance as a staple food in a diet. Some selected varieties of coarse grains viz. sorghum, pearl millet and maize developed in HAU were procured. Physical properties such as Sphericity, crushing load, thousand grain mass, bulk density, particle density, porosity, angle of repose, coefficient of internal friction and coefficient of external friction on three surfaces (Plywood, G.I. sheet, Concrete) and colour were measured for three moisture contents namely 10%, 14% and 18% d.b. The physical properties of sorghum with four varieties Cv. HC-308, HC-171, HC-260 and HJ-513; pearl millet with five varieties Cv. HHB-117, HHB-94, HHB-223, HHB-197 and HHB-67 and maize with four varieties Cv. 139x1011, 1040x1011, HM-7 and 3-4-8-6ER were determined and the results were written in the text. The regression analysis was done and prediction equations are given. The properties like Sphericity, crushing load, bulk density, particle density linearly decreased and the properties like thousand grain mass, porosity, angle of repose, coefficient of internal friction and coefficient of external friction linearly increased with increase in moisture content for all the varieties.en_US
