What causes Grain shattering?
If left on the plant too long after drying, the seed heads become brittle and drop the tiny grains onto the soil before harvest.
How to treat Grain shattering
Cut the entire flower stalks immediately if you notice grains dropping when gently tapped.
How to prevent Grain shattering
Harvest early in the morning when dew is still on the plant, which keeps the seed heads slightly moist and prevents shattering.
