MODELING
An empirical relationship was developed utilizing the dependence of the seeds percentage damage (Sd, %) on parameters such as seed moisture content (M, %), impact velocity (V, m/s), and M×V as independent variables, with the help of regression techniques. The relationship is given as follows:
The regression statistics for the model indicated that all terms except V were significant effects (at the 99% level) on the accuracy of the model. The p‐value of predicting equation was
