The seed industry is unique in that its commodity, seed, is produced on farms and goes back to farms or gardens. Furthermore, seed prepared for planting has no important value for any use other than as planting stocks. 1 The pathway of producing and supplying high-yielding seed to farmers by the seedindustry. This involves delivering genetic variety improvements, physically pure seed, and physiologically-high-quality seed to ensure good field stands. 2. Note that each step included in a box in this diagram involves many activities, much work, management and monitoring.
Requires an electronic color sorter. 17. Electrostatic Separation A. Improves seed purity and quality by removing undesirable seed which react differently to an electrical charge. B. Requires a suitable electrostatic separator. 18. Other Separations A. Makes specific separations to improve quality of seed of specific crops. B. Requires specific machines which make specific separations. 22 Seed Conditioning: Technology 19. Treatment A. Protects seed and seedlings from diseases and/or insects by applying protective or disinfestant chemicals.
Efficient seed production and conditioning use a cost-effective combination of both methods to turn out the best possible seed at the lowest possible cost. Trying to remove all possible undesirable materials in the field would be costly, inefficient, and require much time; it is more efficient to use conditioning to remove as many undesirable materials as possible. Thus, it Role and Principles of Seed Conditioning 13 is essential to condition all seed after harvest, and seed conditioning has become a vital link between the seed producer and seed user.
