In the South Ural State University (SUSU) they invented a new method of pre-sowing grain processing in order to increase its quality and productivity. This is stated in the press service of the university.

Scientists applied ultrasound to the shell of the grain, which stimulated the rapid penetration of moisture into those parts that are responsible for germination.

According to university experts engaged in scientific work, the new method makes it possible to accelerate germination up to 16 hours. In traditional cultivation, this process takes about 24-26 hours.

The technology was tested on experimental grains of the Chelyabinsk region, which were sown on unsuitable soil for cultivation. Despite the fact that the land was not intended for the cultivation of agricultural plants, grain crops showed amicable seedlings and high productivity.

According to scientists, the effect of ultrasound increases the composition of amino acids, as well as the amount of minerals and vitamins.

Given this fact, they propose to use the technology for growing grain, from which later it will be possible to bake high-quality bread or use them as a vitamin food supplement.
