Rapeseed storage and their mechanical strength.

Author(s) : TYS J., SZWED G.

Summary

Seeds of rape cv. Bolko, Polo and Leo were harvested at technical and full maturity with moisture contents of 6 and 11% and were stored in containers at stable temperatures of 7, 20 and 30 °C. The stress (compression) invoked in the seeds due to internal pressure application was 150 and 300 kPa. The initial storage period (20-40 days) did not clearly differentiate stability features but the following storage time strongly differentiated seed resistance to the dynamic loads, mainly at 30 °C. Maturity and moisture are also important.
