Abstract
Results indicated that:
The maximum values of the germination ratio were of about 95.1 % and 90.03 % for the Corn Sheller and El- Shams threshing machines, respectively, at a minimum airflow temperature of about 313 K (40 oC), highest level of feeding rate (10 kg/min) and lowest level of moisture content (11.32 %).
The optimum condition for drying process are at air temperature of 333 oK and sunflower heads moisture content of 17.07%.
