Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>For the first time in history, researchers from India have developed an X-ray that can assess the quality of peanuts while still inside the hull.<\/p>\n

This is good news for farmers as it will not only improve crop quality but help with faster and mass production of peanuts.<\/p>\n

The study was led by a team of researchers from the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and the Fraunhofer Development Center for X-ray Technology.<\/p>\n

“What took three-five skilled workers 30 minutes can now be done by a single technician in two minutes,” Stefan Gerth, Head of Department, EZRT said.<\/p>\n

Experts say it will also enable the accurate and timely evaluation of the peanut pods for important market-related characteristics like kernel weight or shelling percentage from the X-ray scan of whole unshelled peanut pods.<\/p>\n

The processing algorithms that allow \u2018virtual shelling’ are also being explored for future evaluation of various other crops such as rice, oats and barley.<\/p>\n

“We are also exploring the usage of X-ray radiography and tomography\u2013based methods for testing seed embryo viability. In gene banks, a large number of precious seed samples need to undergo germination tests to check the seed viability every few years,” said Sunita Choudhary, Scientist, ICRISAT.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They will also develop a portable X-ray imaging system that will be especially useful in grain value chains where the time needed to assess the economic value of grain by threshing or milling is a significant barrier.<\/p>\n
