The results also showed that by increasing the materials moisture content from (/1.0 to 24.0 %) tends to increasing thefeed rate from (1.4 to 2.5 Mg/h), baler losses from (4.0 to 7.0 %) and bale density from (82.0 to /00.0 kg/ m3 ) during baling rice straw UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2011/MJAE/2811/4p1/197.pdf ER -
