Who Buys This Range
Agriculture universities and colleges use the seed counter and moisture meter in seed-testing and post-harvest practicals. Seed-testing laboratories, seed analysts and plant breeders count exact seed lots for germination tests, seed weight determinations, sowing trials and packeting. Grain-storage and agricultural training centres check the moisture content of food grains, pulses and oil seeds with the moisture meter. Laboratory dealers and distributors order the instruments singly or in quantity for institutional tenders.

Seed Counter
The Seed Counter is a microcontroller-based electronic counter that delivers seeds in exact, programmed lots. The operator keys the required number into a membrane keyboard, sets an adjustable knob so the seeds move in a single row, and starts the run with one button. It handles seeds from 1 to 15 mm and counts up to 999999 in a lot.

Seed testing practicals with the Seed Counter
Germination test. Program the counter for the number of seeds in one replicate and count four equal lots from the same sample. Lay them on moist paper in Petri dishes, hold them in a laboratory incubator and count the normal seedlings at the end of the test period.
Thousand-seed weight. Count several lots of one thousand seeds, weigh each lot and take the mean. Read the moisture of the same sample on the Digital Moisture Meter at the same time, because seed weight rises and falls with its water content.
Respiration in germinating seeds. Count two identical lots for the seed respiration kit and boil one as the control. Any difference in gas given off then comes from the living seeds and not from unequal seed numbers.
Sowing trials and packeting. Prepare counted lots for each plot or row of a field trial, so that plant stands can be compared fairly. The same routine fills seed packets with a fixed number of seeds.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Seed Counter
Why does the final count sometimes differ from the preset number?
Usually two seeds passed the counting point side by side, or dust and chaff were counted as seeds. Reset the knob so the seeds travel in a single row, clean the sample before pouring it in, and let slow stop finish the lot before you remove the container.
Where should the Seed Counter be placed?
On a firm, level bench away from direct sunlight, damp and dust. A table that shakes or tilts breaks up the single row of seeds and can upset the count. Cover the counter when it is not in use.
How do I find the thousand-seed weight with the counter?
Program a lot of one thousand seeds, weigh it on a laboratory balance and repeat for several replicate lots. The mean is the thousand-seed weight, which is used to set sowing rates and to express germination results per unit weight of seed.
How do replicate lots make a germination test more reliable?
Several equal lots from one sample let you check whether the results agree. If one replicate differs sharply from the rest, the sample was poorly mixed or test conditions varied, and the test should be repeated. The counter prepares equal lots in minutes.
What should I do when changing to a different seed type?
Empty every seed left from the previous lot, then reset the adjustable knob for the new size within the 1 to 15 mm range. Run a short trial lot and count it by hand to confirm the setting before preparing test lots.
How should the counter be cleaned?
Switch off and unplug first. Brush out dust, husk and broken seed from the feed path and the counting point, and wipe the outside with a dry cloth. Dust left inside can be registered as seeds and spoil the next count.

Grain and seed practicals with the moisture meter
Drying curve. Read a freshly harvested sample, then dry it in a laboratory oven at a low setting. At fixed intervals, cool a sub-sample in a closed container and read it on the meter. Plotting moisture against drying time shows how quickly each crop gives up water.
Rapid test against a reference. Split one lot with a riffle sample divider so both portions match. Test one portion on the meter and the other on a moisture analyser, then discuss why the two values differ.
Moisture and germination. Record the moisture of each seed lot, count replicate lots on the Seed Counter and set them out in Petri dishes to germinate. Students then relate the moisture at storage to the germination count.
Store-room survey. Students draw samples from bags at the top, middle and bottom of a stack and log each reading in the meter. Comparing the stored values shows where damp grain collects and which bags need drying first.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Digital Moisture Meter
Why must the right commodity be selected before each test?
Each grain and seed packs and holds water differently, so the meter needs the setting for that crop. Reading wheat on a pulse setting gives a wrong value. Check the selected commodity every time the sample type changes.
Does the temperature of the sample affect the reading?
Yes. Grain taken straight from a dryer or a cold store can read differently from grain at room temperature. Let the sample settle in a closed container before testing, and follow the meter's own instructions on temperature correction.
How do students compare the meter with the oven method?
Divide one sample in two. Read one portion on the meter, then weigh, oven-dry and reweigh the other. Moisture on a wet basis is the weight lost divided by the fresh weight, times a hundred. The gap between the two figures shows how close the rapid test comes.
Why does pressing each sample the same way matter?
The meter works on the pressure principle, so a loosely filled chamber and a tightly packed one can give different values for the same grain. Fill to the same level and apply pressure the same way every time to keep readings comparable.
Why is moisture checked before grain or seed goes into storage?
Damp produce heats up, grows moulds and attracts insects in storage, and seed loses its ability to germinate sooner. Each crop has a moisture level below which it keeps well, so a reading shows whether a lot needs more drying first.
How should the meter be cleaned between commodities?
Empty the sample chamber after every test and brush out dust, husk and broken grain. Wipe away any oil left by oil seeds before testing a dry cereal. Store the meter in a dry place, away from damp store rooms.
