METHOD OF SORTING AND CATEGORIZING SEED

摘要

A method of sorting and categorizing seed departs from the traditional metho d of sorting based primarily on size of the seeds and instead sorts primarily on the basis of shape of the seeds. Sorted categorie s based primarily on shape can reduce the number of categories of the same type of seed that need to be packaged and inventoried. It simplifie s warehousing, selection and planting of the sad. Optionally, the method can include sorting a substantial portion of a type of seed primarily by shape and sorting ai least a portion of the remainder of the seed by traditional methods which also include size as a factor.
