SEED CONGLOMERATION: A DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION TO REDUCE CLEANING REQUIREMENTS OF SMALL SEEDED SPECIES

摘要

Materials and methods are disclosed for conglomerating low-purity small seeds, clay-binder, and aeration media into a particle. Through this process a low purity seed does not inhibit seed flow through planting equipment because the seed and associated non-seed parts are formed into particles that have vastly improved flow and aerodynamic properties over untreated seed.
