| Tobacco seeds are very small in seed size, causing non-uniformseedlings development, vunerable to disease infection, as a result requires higher seeding rate. This research aims to study effect of material filler on tobacco seed quality. The experiment was conducted at laboratory of seed quality testing section, Seed Processing Plant, Faculty of Agriculture, Khon Kaen University. The Virginia tobacco seeds were pelleted with three types of fillers including pumice zeolite and bentonite. The binder material used wasis hydroxyl propyl methylcellulose (HPMC) with concentration of 4 percent by weight. The result showed that the seed pelleting with pumice. Solubility in water is best when compared with other types of material fillers. Furthermore it’s the... |
