Abstract

The paper describes construction of a new specialized hygrometer and dedicated applications for data acquisition and analyzing that can be used for seeds moisture measurements. To find the correlation between seeds water content and measurements results obtained from the device the weight method was applied. This paper shows preliminary results from tests of fully functional system allowing estimation in a very easy end fast way of the water content in germinating seeds without seeds destruction.
