Publication number: 20160174557Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of plant material, especially seeds. The method uses vacuum pressure for disinfecting seeds from pathogens. Seed disinfection is important as seeds infected by pathogens could propagate them and lead to high losses of the crops. The method is applicable to seeds from cucurbit species specifically watermelon, melon, squash, pumpkin, cucumber and gourds but also seeds from solanaceous species specifically tomatoes, peppers and eggplants.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2014Publication date: June 23, 2016Applicant: VILMORIN & CIEInventors: Amnon OLESINSKI, Keith KUBIK

Patent number: 9250161Abstract: A sampling tool includes a guiding body provided with a through bore, and a part-carrying punch mounted slidingly adjustable in the bore having a lower edge forming a cutting edge. A part-carrying die of the tool is provided with a cutting upper edge and separated from the guiding body by an opening provided with a through bore which the lower end of the punch enters when cutting the sample to be collected. An actuator to actuate the punch between an initial position, a stationary intermediate position, and a final position in which the punch passes through the die. The path of the punch is tangential to the surface of the opening and the bore is tangential to a geometric plane containing the surface to make a cut with an open contour in the plant from which the sample is collected.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: VILMORIN & CIEInventors: Herve Turchi, Guillaume Champain, Remi Sayag, Marc Havard, Pierre Amouroux
