Abstract
Legume seed quality is greatly affected by methods of harvesting and handling. In these operations, seeds are subjected repeatedly to many impacts on metal surfaces and against other seeds. Impacts may be result of threshing cylinder or rotor motion, the movement of buckets in vertical elevators, centrifugal discharging, the filling and discharging of screw conveyors, spouting and free-fall dropping (Palusen et al., 1981a,Palusen et al., 1981b), (Pickett, 1973). In nearly all handling operations, seeds are accelerated to some velocity and then discharged onto stationary objects or other grains.
