Abstract:The objective of this study was to determine the number of stages of cone drying and immersion that yield the maximum number of high quality seeds. Nine variants of the process were conducted; they differed in terms of dwell time in the drying chamber and water immersion time. Each extraction variant consisted of five drying steps (lasting 10, 8 or 6 h) and four immersion steps (5, 10 or 15 min). Each drying step was followed by cone shaking in a purpose-made laboratory drum. The process variants were evaluate… Show more
