QUALITY OF CHICORY ROOT SEEDS DEPENDING ON ITS COATING

Abstract

The results of the impact of the pelleting coating on the quality of seed of Chicory root have been shown. Pelleting of Chicory root contributed to the increase in its size by the diameter and thickness. The best is to create a pellet coating with weighing of 100% of the weight of the seed, which provides the obtaining of the pelleting seed with the adjustment of 87,2% of fraction with 1,5–2,5 mm in diameter. But, even with the application of 100% of the pelleting mixture on Chicory root seed with similarity to pelleting of 95% on average in the three varieties its germinating energy (by 7%,) and similarity (by 5%) significantly decreased compared with the control. Increasing of the weight of the pelleting coating with weight of 150–200%, these indicators significantly decreased compared with the control and with the pelleting seed where the pellet weight was 100% by weight of the see
