When performing the breeding and seed production process, it is important to use marker traits that serve to establish the plant's affiliation to a particular hybrid or variety (prevent falsification) and quickly select a large number of plants at different stages of selection. Based on this, the development and improvement of technical and technological support for the automatic phenotyping test of sunflower seeds in the structure of systems for automated control of their structural and mode parameters is an urgent problem. The purpose of the research is to develop and perform a production test of a tape device for the automatic phenotyping test of sunflower seeds. A rational precision technological line of the processes of separation of sunflower seed material has been developed, which includes the stages of mechanically threshing baskets from under individual insulators and primary cleaning of the seed mixture, which is carried out on laboratory sieving and small aerodynamic separators using for automatic phenotyping test of seeds. The proposed sunflower device can significantly intensify and shorten the breeding process and improve the design of the breeding program. With the help of the specified device it is possible to carry out bioinformative analysis of the data, to carry out an assessment of their quality, to sort the seeds of oilseeds crops, to carry out the selection according to the given characteristics at the initial stages of the breeding process. A tape device for automatic phenotyping test of seeds has been developed, which preserves the accuracy of individual measurement of the geometric dimensions of sunflower seeds, determination of their shape and color, which corresponds to modern measuring tools, and provides low complexity and high technological implementation of the phenotyping test procedure (determination, identification) breeding material, its morphological and marker features
