Improving the technology of post-harvest seed treatment
Abstract
The article deals with the issues of grain injury by elements of production lines. The evaluation of the most typical operations that cause macro - and microtraumation of grain by air-sieve-Trier machines is given. The most rational design parameters of the machines and their operating modes that guarantee minimal injury to seeds are identified. Possible ways to improve the quality of the seed fractions extracted by passing through the sieve B2 and descending from the sieve G. Preferably, each of them should be passed separately through a puppet Trier. At the same time, the level of seed injury is lower and the laboratory germination rate is higher.
