Abstract
Reports on the development of a rotary seed processor that efficiently processes small breeder or experimental lots of seed for species with seed appendages such as awns and pubescence. By removing seed appendages and pubescence seed bulk is reduced and seed density and flow ability are improved.Suggested Citation
