【発明の名称】種子の分類カテゴリー化方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003529441
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A method of sorting and categorizing seed departs from the traditional method of sorting based primarily on size of the seeds and instead sorts primarily on the basis of shape of the seeds. Sorted categories based primarily on shape can reduce the number of categories of the same type of seed that need to be packaged and inventoried. It simplifies warehousing, selection and planting of the seed. Optionally, the method can include sorting a substantial portion of a type of seed primarily by shape and sorting at least a portion of the remainder of the seed by traditional methods which also include size as a factor.
