Answer:
> Freshly harvested grains are generally dried to about 12% moisture, this makes sure that microbial growth is negligible. Since free water is unavailable, microbes or fungi cannot adhere and grow on the grain, and hence spoiling is prevented. > Grains themselves require moisture to respire hence preventing ripening.

Answer:
the paddy is spread in the sun for proper drawing so that the moisture present in the grain is reduced this prevents insects feast bacteria and fungi from attacking the paddy
