Abstract

Modern technologies for applying artificial shells are based on the principles of rolling or granulating with subsequent drying. This technology does not allow to get a gas - permeable porous shell, which often leads to the death of seeds during the formation of the shell, storage and transportation, and slow growth at the early stages of plant development. The aim of the research is to develop a new method and device for pre-sowing treatment of agricultural seeds, which can increase their germination, germination energy and ensure crop growth. A distinctive feature of the new method is that the shell is formed not by rolling, but by molding around the seed, followed by drying in a soft mode. This will form a porous, gas-permeable structure around the seed. Based on the mathematical description of the processes occurring during the introduction of seeds into the nutrient medium, the design calculations and calculations made a laboratory stand for the study of the seeds coating with a protective and nutritious shell, which consists of a mixing, sealing and seeding nodes. A series of experiments was conducted to study the operation of the stand in various modes. Optimal operating modes are identified.

Highlights

One of the effective methods for pre-sowing preparation of seeds is their pelleting - coating the seeds with a special mixture
It creates a protective and nourishing membrane, increasing their size and giving the seeds the right shape. This allows us to ensure normal seed nutrition in the early stages of development, when the root system of the plant is still weak or not formed. This is especially effective when the soil contains a small amount of elements necessary for plant development (Kubeev, E,2015)
Despite the obvious advantages of this method, its development is constrained by a number of reasons, the main of which is the application technology, based on the use of rolling principles or granulation with subsequent drying

Despite the obvious advantages of this method, its development is constrained by a number of reasons, the main of which is the application technology, based on the use of rolling principles or granulation with subsequent drying With such methods, the resulting shell has low gas and moisture permeability, which often leads to seed death during shell formation, storage and transportation. There is slow growth in the early stages of plant development
