Seed preparation lines for precision seeding crops

When it comes to sowing crops with precision seed drills, seed quality and calibration play a crucial role. That is why seed preparation lines for such crops are equipped with specialized equipment that ensures maximum accuracy and efficiency.

Precision seed preparation lines are the key to the effective use of modern seeding technology. They turn ordinary seeds into a highly precise agro-material capable of maximizing the return on each hectare.

Each crop is unique and requires a special approach to seed preparation. The task of the seed line is to select the most productive and strong seeds from the available grain raw materials, and, if necessary, to calibrate them and then pre-seed them.

When sowing crops using precision seed drills, it should be understood that each seed in the total mass must be calibrated to the size of the disc in the sowing sections of the drill.

That is why it is important to provide a calibration machine for obtaining seeds, so to speak, "grain to grain", in the seed preparation lines for precision seeding.

Appointment

Precision seeding seed preparation lines are high-tech automated complexes designed for processing agricultural seeds intended for sowing using precision seeders such as pneumatic, vacuum or mechanical seeding machines. These crops include rapeseed, soybeans, sugar beet, vegetable and flower crops, where the calibration and quality of seeds directly affect the accuracy of sowing and uniformity of harvest.

Technology

With the help of a precision seed preparation line for crops - optical sorting, weight calibration, density and shape analysis - the line weeds out weak, damaged, small or infected seeds, leaving only the strongest and most viable. The seed line turns ordinary grain into a guarantee of a good harvest by providing: high similarity of 98-100%, uniform germination, resistance to stress (drought and disease).

Seed features for precise seeding:

• High uniformity in size, shape and weight.
• The minimum number of puny, damaged and small seeds.
• The absence of dust, debris and small fractions that can clog the seeding machine.
• The possibility of coating (pelletizing) to improve the shape and weight of seeds.

A typical seed line for precision seeding crops includes the following steps:

1. Primary (mandatory) cleaning on air-sieve separators of the MUZ series.
2. Secondary (seed) cleaning on TOP series fine cleaning machines.
3. Sorting by length on BT series triers.
4. Calibration with separation of fractions by size on grain cleaning and calibration machines of the KSP series.
5. Sorting by specific gravity on pneumatic columns of the SP series.
6. Color sorting on photo separators.
7. Etching, inlay and etching on etchants of the PS series.
8. Packing of seeds in bags and big bags at the TORBA series packing stations.

Advantages

The main advantage of the seed line is its ability to "choose the best".

• Maximum seeding accuracy due to seed uniformity
• Reduction of seed consumption by 15-30% compared to conventional seeds
• Elimination of omissions and duplicates - increases the uniformity of shoots
• Increased productivity - due to the optimal density of standing plants
• Saving the life of the seeder - clean and calibrated seeds do not clog or wear out the sowing machines
