Detailed Explanation of Sunflower Seed Coating Techniques

When coating seeds, select seeds carefully and strictly control seed moisture content. For large quantities of seeds, a seed coating machine should be used for coating. If there is no coating machine or the seed quantity is not large, manual coating methods can be used.

(1) Large bottle coating method. Weigh a certain amount of seeds and put them into a large bottle, generally filling no more than 1/2 of the bottle's space, then add the seed coating agent in proportion, seal the cap, and shake quickly until the agent is evenly attached to the seed surface. Pour out and dry in the shade for later use.

(2) Plastic bag coating method. Use a large plastic bag of good quality, weigh a certain amount of seeds and seed coating agent and pour them into the bag, tie the bag opening tightly, and two people quickly turn and flip it until the agent is evenly mixed and coated on the seed surface. Pour out and dry in the shade for later use.

(3) Iron wok or large basin coating method. First fix the wok or basin in place, weigh the seeds and seed coating agent in proportion and pour them into the iron wok or basin, use a wooden shovel or both hands (wearing gloves) to quickly turn and rub, and after even mixing, take them out and dry in the shade for later use.
