INFLUENCE OF ELECTRIC FIELD ON THE QUALITY OF FLAXSEED

The following steps are used in the processing of the seeds in order to improve their quality before planting--cleaning, separation, treating with fungicide and stimulation of germination. This paper describes the effect of an electric field in these stages of the seed processing technology. The paper presents a mathematical description of deflection angle; the results of special seed cleaning and grading according to mass; the influence of electric field on the germination of the seeds. The possibility to use the ecologically clean method of the seed processing by an electric field instead of treating with fungicide is discussed
