METHOD FOR ASSESSING COMPLETENESS OF SEED TREATMENT Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A01C1/06 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method for evaluating the completeness of seed treatment of corn is proposed, including weighing the seeds, extracting fungicides, and quantitative GLC analysis of active substances. The extraction of fungicidal components is carried out with an extractant by a 2-stage exposure in a mechanical shaker or in an ultrasonic bath. After that, the extracts are filtered into volumetric flasks, the content of active substances is quantitatively measured on a gas-liquid chromatograph with a thermal ion and electron capture detector, and the actual consumption of the disinfectant per 1 ton of seeds for each active substance is calculated. The completeness of treatment is defined as the ratio of the actual content of the drug in the seeds to the recommended consumption rate.

EFFECT: method improves the quality of pre-sowing preparation of seeds.
