Based on the density difference using the flotation method, damaged and healthy seeds can be separated. The steps of separation:

  1. Take a container filled with clean water.
  2. Put all the seeds into the water.
  3. Observation:
  • Healthy seeds are heavier and denser, so they sink to the bottom.
  • Damaged seeds (which may be hollow, broken, or infested) are lighter, so they float on the surface.
