Key Points

Pentane flotation effectively separates full from empty longleaf pine seeds, preserving their viability.
Using n-pentane, seeds are separated with high precision, demonstrating a reliable method for seed sorting.
The innovative flotation technique is applicable for both small and large seed lots, enhancing processing efficiency.
This research highlights a sustainable method for seed separation, potentially beneficial for forestry practices.

Implication

Flotation method improves seed separation of full and empty longleaf pine seeds, indicating high precision.

Abstract

Full and empty seeds of Pinus palustris Mill. can be separated with high precision by flotation in n -pentane, which is not harmful to viability. While this method is probably best suited for small lots of seed, it can also be used for large ones.
