Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for improving the quality of seeds harvested from seed-producing plants. The method comprises treating the pre-planted seeds of the seed-producing plants with a seed treatment insecticide and treating the resulting plant with foliar applications of a foliar insecticide; or treating the pre-planted seeds of the seed-producing plants with a seed treatment insecticide; or treating seed-producing plants with foliar applications of a foliar insecticide.
Abstract: An improved device for measuring the count and frequency of seeds in a stream of seeds is described. The device is useful for measuring the frequency and accuracy of seed planting devices. A seed counting system can include an imaging region, an image sensing device, and a lens between the imaging region and the image sensing device. An optical distance extender between the imaging region and the lens, creates an effective optical distance between the imaging region and the lens that is substantially greater than the physical distance between the imaging region and the lens, thereby providing a substantial depth of field.
