In order to obtain optimum harvests, seed treatment must ensure disease and pest control, germination stimulation and plantlet emergence, healthy roots forming and the emergence of a uniform and thick culture that preserves the integrity of the seed genetic potential. Chemicals currently have a basic role in plant protection and in the future they will play an important role; with the aim of reducing the dose, increasing the selectivity, reducing and controlling the persistence, a permanent action is being required, as changes are constantly occurring in the evolution of harmful organisms, resistant types appear, etc., it is necessary that the assortment of pesticide products contain less and less toxic products. The paper presents experimental research results conducted on equipment with brush screw conveyor, which allowed variation of operating parameters that are then graphically represented. The testing methodology for treatment equipment has been developed according to the construction features and functional parameters. Therefore, we determine the interdependence between the coverage degree and some functional parameters that were measured and can formulate recommendations for the use of these types of equipment. This paper is a continuation and completion of the paper “Coating process of corn grains using treatment machine with brush screw conveyor” last year publication in proceedings of “Engineering for Rural Development”, which will emphasize the interdependence of the main parameters involved in the treatment process.
