There is very little control  over the seed rate, seed spacing, seed depth, line  sowing, etc.Seed pelleting is the process of  enclosing the seed into some kind of inert material  just large enough to produce a globular size. The  most essential phases of precision planting are the  singling of seeds for exact placement at a  predetermined depth and spacing in the soil with a uniform coverage. The freshly harvested seeds of lucerne, soybean and  chilli were pelleted.The gum Arabic, 20% solution in  water was used as the binding material. A process of  seed pelletization was standardized. Different  coating materials and their proportions were  tried.The selected seeds were palletized with the help of seed pelletizer. The  pelletization efficiency 84-92, 100, and 95-98 % and  the estimated cost of seed pelletization comes to be  about Rs 34, 11.50 and 34 per kg of seed for lucerne  soybean and chilli, respectively.  The pellet bulk  density and 1000 pellets mass increased with the  increase in time of pelletization for all the seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844301434\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSEED PELLETING FOR PRECIOUS CROP SEED\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844301434","offer_id":39470060732509,"sku":"9783844301434","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/b275dc39-7ab9-49dd-a368-72a0d58263da.jpg?v=1758087491","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/development-of-seed-pelleting-technology-von-chiman-baladhiya-und-d-c-joshi","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
