Research on the Optimization of the Storage Conditions for Certified Grain Cereal Seeds

Abstract:

Production and storage of cereal seeds is an important link in ensuring good agricultural production. The preservation of the seed material should be performed properly to ensure the continuous supply of quality raw materials throughout the year. Maintaining the physical properties of long-term grain seeds is a challenge for all farmers and owners of storage spaces. The article proposes an analysis of the storage process from the perspective of the qualitative indices specific to the grain cereal seeds stored in the specialized units in Galați County. The objectives of the research aim to optimize the process of storing the cereal seeds intended for sowing agricultural surfaces in the SE Region of Romania. The results obtained are useful to farmers, units specialized in the storage of seed material and are integrated in the national strategy for sustainable development of agriculture.
