Description: Experimental studies were conducted to study the im pact damage caused by free fall to peas and lentils. Damage was assessed on three surfaces at four moisture contents spanning the damp, tough, dry, and over-dry conditions for the seeds. Samples were dropped onto screed concrete, smooth steel, and sanded ply wood from 18.3 m and 9.15 m. Damage was assessed by quantifying percentages of cracked, split, and total damage to seeds in the samples. Greaterdamagegenerally occurredat lower moisture con tentsandat greaterdrop heighton the surfacesstudied. The wooden surface resulted in the least damage for both pulses with an increase in total damage in peas of 0.31 percentage points from initial total damage of 1.03% and no significant increase in damagefor lentils. The concrete surface caused the greatest increase in damage with 0.60 percentage points in peas and 3.39 percentage points in lentils at the low moisture contents and a drop of 18.3 m.
