Trends in the development of non-invasive technologies for assessing quality of seeds

The article presents studies on the use of non-invasive technologies to determine the quality of seeds of various crops. The authors analyzed patents on this topic. In particular, such laser and optical technologies as IR spectroscopy, hyperspectral spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence, terahertz spectroscopy were investigated. The conducted patent research showed and confirmed the relevance of the work and the possibility of further implementation of the results into practice, mainly in the field of systems for laser-optical spectroscopy of seeds. Carrying out research on this topic will allow you to design and create new types of devices that will be in demand in many areas of modern agriculture.
