Effects of Mechanical Damage for Different Type of Threshing Patterns on Wheat Storage Quality Traits

Mechanical damage to wheat grains is inevitable during harvester threshing; damaged wheat grains are vulnerable to mold colonies. Selecting optimal threshing pattern is an important approach to reduce wheat storage quality loss for threshing damage. Wheat harvested by tangential flow threshing patte...

description Mechanical damage to wheat grains is inevitable during harvester threshing; damaged wheat grains are vulnerable to mold colonies. Selecting optimal threshing pattern is an important approach to reduce wheat storage quality loss for threshing damage. Wheat harvested by tangential flow threshing patterns (TFTP) and axial flow threshing patterns (AFTP) were used as test samples and wheat harvested manually were used as control samples. Moisture contents of all wheat grains were adjusted to 18% (wet basis) before storage, then wheat grains were stored in an artificial climate box at temperature of 30 °C and humidity of 80% RH. The mold colonies and fatty acids value of wheat harvested by TFTP increased faster than those of wheat harvested by AFTP, the dry basis 1000 grain weight, seed vigor and germinating traits of wheat harvested by TFTP decreased faster than those by AFTP during storage. After storage, there were significant differences between TFTP and AFTP in the mold colonies, seed vigor, dry basis 1000 grain weight (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Germination potential and rate were significantly negative correlation with mold colonies. Aberrations of seedling and mold colonies in seedling root had significantly positive correlation with the mold colonies. The storage quality traits of wheat harvested by AFTP were better than those of wheat harvested by TFTP. AFTP should be preferred for wheat harvested mechanically in terms of the storage quality of wheat.
