METHOD OF GRAIN TREATMENT PRIOR TO SOWING Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A01C1/06 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of agriculture. The method includes preliminary heating of grain prior to sowing for 30 minutes in a leakproof container mounted with an ability of rotation, the subsequent operations of vacuuming in this container, and moistening with water or a solution of pretreating agents for disinfecting, and drying. Moistening the grain in this container is carried out at a vacuum of 30-50 kPa and held at this vacuum to moisture sufficient for germination of grains, such as for wheat of 48-50%. After this the excess of liquid is drained, and air of excessive pressure of 30-50 kPa is pumped into it and is affected on grain for 10-20 minutes. Then, in the container with grain to atmospheric pressure is created, and the unloaded grain is covered with waterproof film, such as wax or paraffin.

EFFECT: method enables to intensify the process of saturation of cereal seeds with water or solution of pretreating agents, to keep the moisture in them before and after planting in the dry soil.
