As a core component of seed certification programs, it verifies the proportion of pure seeds in a given sample and detects contamination by other crop seeds, weed seeds, and inert material. ...
Factors analyzed include echo reflectivity parameters such as the mean and maximum echo intensity, the anomaly percentage of the grid number of effective echoes, the fractional contribution to the total reflectivities, and the vertically integrated liquid water content (VIL) during and after the seeding process. About 12 minutes after seeding ended, the composite ...
