Özet
The seeds of two safflower cultivars were investigated in order to determine their frictional and aerodynamic properties as a function of moisture content. The coefficients of dynamic friction of cultivars on aluminium, plywood, fibreglass and steel surfaces increased by 87, 56, 78, and 129% for cv. Remzibey-05 seed, and by 91, 31, 71, and 131% for cv. Dincer seed, respectively, between the initial and final moisture content levels. The terminal velocities of the Remzibey-05 and Dincer seeds increased by 15 and 11%, respectively, with increase in moisture content between the initial and final levels.
