For example, if in a given sample, the dockage removed by mechanical means and hand sieves is ten percent, the percentage of mechanically cleaned and hand-sieved seed (or rapeseed) is ninety percent. If the percentage of dockage removed by handpicking is two percent of the handpicked portion, the two percent shall be multiplied by nine-tenths to obtain the percent of handpicked dockage, one and eight-tenths. The percent of mechanically and hand-sieved dockage, ten percent is then added to the handpicked dockage, one and eight-tenths percent to give a total dockage of eleven and eight-tenths percent.
Example: 3.4% 5/64 round holes, 4% 6x21 wire, 1.7% air
