Abstract
ABSTRACT THIS study was undertaken in order to evaluate the machine and operator sources of error affecting the Wisconsin Breakage Tester values on corn. The average standard deviation of the breakage values measured with a 4.76 mm (12/64 in.) sieve was found to be 0.505% but ranged from 0.06% to 1.98% for different levels of breakage susceptibility. The breakage values using a 6.35 mm (16/64 in.) sieve were nearly double the 4.76 mm sieve values, averaging 1.012% with a range from 0.1% to 4.8%. Mold damage and kernel feed rate into the instrument were insignificant on breakage susceptibility values. Error introduced by operator differences was found to be statistically significant although the magnitude of the error was small.
