Abstract. Plasma seed treatment can increase the seed germination, seedling vigor and field according to use the Plasma seed treatment which is considered as a new physical agricultural technology. The plasma processor was designed to produce the stable plasma to ensure the uniformity of the treated seeds. In some conditions, the seeds movement could affect uniformity of treatment results. The EDEM software was successfully used in this paper to simulate the state of seeds movement. According to simulation, the structure of the equipment will be redesigned to ensure uniformity of the treated seeds.
