abstract This paper presents results of an investigation carried out for determining the influence of elec-trostriction forces in a convection drying process of grain seeds. These investigations were carried out in a drying chamber operating in a fluid bed mode. Experiments involved drying samples of wheat and rape seeds. The following parameters were varied during tests: drying temperature, electrical field intensity in the drying chamber.
