Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Tue, 11/05/2024 - 12:38The article presents the results of studies on the influence of damage during combine harvesting and post-harvest treatment on the sowing properties of hemp seeds. It is noted that at combine threshing on the background of increase of mechanical damages in the form of macrotraumas ( 35% ) and microtraumas ( 22% ) there is a decrease in laboratory germination of hemp seeds up to 68%. The main share of macrotraumas is caused by crushing – 8.5%; removal of husk – 10%, as well as cracks in the area of the cotyledon and embryo – 16.5%.
