SeedCount
What is SeedCount?
SeedCount is a digital imaging system specifically designed for the grain industry. It uses software and scanner technology to rapidly and accurately analyze a sample of grain and determine its principal characteristics.
It generates detailed data tables that can be exported to any spreadsheet or database program. It provides this detailed information without damaging the grain sample.
SeedCount is currently offered for barley, wheat, rice and corn analysis. Future versions will include additional trays and calibrations for other grains and cereals.
SeedCount is essential for anyone who grows, sells, buys or uses grain and/or assesses its quality. Potential users are breeders, brewers, dealers, growers, food processors, maltsters, millers, etc.
What can SeedCount Test?
SeedCount analyses the image and calculates the following quantities (place pointer over test quantites to see a description):
- Average Kernel Length
- Average Kernel Width
- Average Kernel Thickness
- Average Area
- Aspect Ratio
- Roundness
- Number of Whole Seeds
- Kernel Weight
- Test Weight
- Dockage
- Blackpoint or Blacktip
If enabled by the user
- Percentage of Seeds with the Defect.
- Discolored Kernels. (Percentage of seeds that are either generally dark or moldy)
- Blackpoint Manual Editing (The operator can manually edit the automatic assessment)
- White Seeds
- Screening Distribution
- Kernel Classification
Further tests are currently being developed (e.g. - green seeds, fusarium, weathering, etc).
The program can save all of this data (and more) in a convenient form for use in a spreadsheet or database.
