Abstract

This investigation aimed to examine effect of treatmens of sunflower seed (hybrids Fakir and Apolon) on grain chemical composition (oil and protein content) during the storage. Un-powdered and with insecticides Apron + Chinok, and Apron + Geocid samples of sunflower seeds were put in double layered craft paper bag and stored on concrete prefabricated warehouse (air moisture 60 –75% and temperature 20-25o C). Seed samples intended for chemical grain analyses were taken after 12 months. Content of total oil was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy method.
Sunflower seed of Fakir hybrid was, at the initial storage, characterized by 47,165% of oil content whereas sunflower seed of Apolon hybrid was known for 51,37% of oil content. Twelve months later oil content of treated sunflower seed was lower for 3,11-6,05%. Seed treatment with the agent Apron + Geocid reduced oil of both hybrids for 6,07-7,01%.
