Physical and Engineering Properties of Dry, Soaked and Pregerminated Paddy Seed (Basmati-370) | Chapter 10 | Emerging Issues in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 1

 Designing and expanding the size and shape of the beat's orifice in a drum seeder depends thickly on the physical and construction characteristics of paddy children. In order to determine these dimensions, the material and engineering traits of dry, soaked (12-moment soaking), and pregerminated (24-period soaking + 12-hour development) paddy (Basmati-370) seeds were examined. The mean value for; time, width, thickness and equivalent width (mm) varies from 9.95 to 10.55, 10.98 to 11.61, 12.01 to 12.53 mm; 1.95 to 2.12, 2.41 to 2.57, 2.67 to 2.90 mm; 1.70 to 1.74, 2.06 to 2.18, 2.29 to 2.48 mm; and 3.07 to 3.20, 3.55 to 3.68, 3.81 to 4.11 mm for dry, saturated and pre germinated seeds individually. The aspect ratio and fullness were found expected 0.19, 0.24, 0.28 and 30, 32.88 and 34.70% for dry, soaked and pregerminated sources respectively. The book, aspect ratio, and highest possible speed of soaked source and pre germinated seed raised by 21, 26.31, and 15.31%, and 39.98, 47.36, and 18.91%, respectively, when compared to dry source.
