Resistance of wheat to high temperatures under different methods of heating
1930
Hottes, C.F. | Wilson, H.K.
Resistance to high temperatures is inversely proportional to the water content of the seed. Seed heated in an oven or open container undergoes constant changes in water content, and this water is constantly carried off as vapor. Seed heated in containers furnished with capillary tubes is subjected to a pressure near the normal, but in a humid atmosphere. Recommendations to agriculturists for treatment of seeds at high temperatures for control of fungus disease should be made with extreme caution. The damage done by the heating process in presence of a moisture content fluctuating between the extremes of grain stored under varying climatic conditions may prove more destructive than the disease.
