METHOD FOR DETERMINING PROPERTIES OF PLANT SEEDS

摘要

The invention provides a device and method whereby in a simple, fast and inexpensive manner, without any complicated pre-treatments, a number of important properties of plant seeds can be determined, in particular properties of barley which are revelant to the malting process. When an arrangement according to the invention is used in combination with a bandfilter for a wavelength in the range around 850 nm, the water uptake pattern of gelatinized barley grains can be rendered well-visible.
