Dependence of corn kernel strength on moisture

BACKGROUND:Moisture has an essential role at threshing of breeding material corn, as when mois-ture is too low (material dry) shattering corn seed takes place while and becomes inapplicable to use, whereas increased moisture leads underthreshing microtraumas, invisible the na-ked eye, that significantly reduces germination material.
 AIMS:To define dependence kernel strength on moisture, carry out experiment identify fracture force.
 METHODS:In this study analysis scientific researches, made by such scientists G.K. Takoev, M.G. Golikov N.S. Buddo who established dependences cob was carried out. The experimental data with various Rostselmash NOVA 330 Claas Mega 370 combine harvesters presented in arti-cle obtained use oscillograph. Corn a significant impact quality. scheme screw press, used for defining force, shown article.
 RESULTS:It productive capacity threshers increase cobs, leading complication design. experiments revealed Krasnodarsky 425 MV hybrid 18.21% can withstand average load 108 N, 29.28% force 90-100 N.
 CONCLUSIONS:With after plotting corresponding graphs, it proved kern increases decrease from 30% 17%.
