METHOD FOR THERMAL DISINFECTION OF LUPINE SEEDS FROM ANTHRACNOSE STIMULANT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A01C1/00 

FIELD: agriculture, in particular, plant growing, more particular, preparing of lupine seeds for sowing.

SUBSTANCE: method involves disinfecting lupine seeds by heating to required temperature, with said heating of seeds being provided by convective supplying of heat in flow of heat-carrier heated to required temperature and heat-carrier moisture content making 79-84%; blowing heat-carrier through seed layer having thickness not in the excess of 0.10-0.15 m; holding seeds in heat-carrier flow at reached temperature for 1.5-2.0 hours; determining heat-carrier temperature from the following ratio: for yellow lupine seeds - for white lupine seeds - with T_min ≤T_ad ≤T_max, where W₀ is seed initial moisture content,%; and are respectively minimal and maximal temperature of heat carrier in thermal treatment of yellow feed lupine, C; and are respectively minimal and maximal temperature of heat-carrier in thermal treatment of white feed lupine, C; T_ad is admissible temperature of heat-carrier, C.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability of process and improved quality of disinfecting feed lupine from anthracnose stimulant.
