Modelling and Analysis of the Electric Field in a Chamber for Pre-Sowing Electrical Treatment of Seeds of Field Crops

Abstract

With the help of the software product FEMM 4.2, model was built of the electric field of a screw device for pre-sowing electromagnetic treatment of seeds of field crops. It was established that the electric field strength value was highest in the area just under the tip of the screw. The obtained results reveal a possibility for further studies aimed at optimizing the active electrode – the screw of the treatment device. This will achieve a more even pre-sowing treatment of field seeds.
