12.01.2022 Why Seed Grading is Important Since humans first developed stable agriculture, seeds have become the world's most essential crop. That's because seed is the bridge between one generation of plant and the next. There isn't a single good reason for planting poor quality seed, and, thank goodness, this is one thing you can control. The general rule is the larger the seed for any particular variety, the stronger and more vigorous the seedlings are likely to be. Large seeds also p...roduce plants with more tillers than those grown from small seeds. Make every seed count As you might expect, a good heavyweight will beat a good lightweight any day. So the aim of seed grading is to maintain this quality from one season to the next by removing all these destructive elements: Other crop seeds Weed seeds (especially herbicide resistant weeds) Straw, soil dust and other inert material Immature, shriveled, damaged, cracked, undersized or oversized seed. Graph of cropping cost comparisons The results? You will have selected only the best and highest quality seed for sowing. The cost of cultivating, fertilizing and controlling weeds in a paddock are high and you cannot afford to permit faulty, foreign or diseased seed to occupy your carefully prepared land.When efficient grading methods are used, the small grain which is unsuitable for seed is taken out and can be sold at market rates, while the screenings make excellent stock food. Seed grading has the smallest cost input in crop management but the highest return (see chart). Both expert official tests and practical results have proved that proper seed grading gives a dramatic increase in yield (up to 45% better from large grain compared to small grain).
