    The aim of the present study was to determine some physical properties, drying time, energy consumption, the effects of batch drying at different temperatures on seed germination, and seedling characteristics of paddy cultivar Osmancik-97, which is grown extensively in Turkey. Paddy seeds, which were dried at different temperature values (50, 60, 70 and 80 °C), were dried to 14%, with initial moisture content 25% (w.b.). The average length, width, and thickness measurements of rice seeds decreased with the decrease in moisture content. Width, height, thickness decreased by 14- 1.78-1.42%, respectively. Surface area, arithmetic and geometric mean diameters, static friction coefficients on aluminium, stainless steel, galvanized iron, and rubber reduced with reducing moisture content. The highest static coefficient of friction for harvesting and storage moisture content was determined on the rubber surface and the lowest surface was determined as aluminium. Drying time, germination percentage, radicle and seedling weights, radicle and seedling lengths of Osmancık-97 paddy seeds dried in 4 different (50, 60, 70, 80 degrees) hot weather conditions were determined. Drying times were 691, 593, 495, and 478 minutes, respectively, with germination percentages of 96.0, 90.0, 87.3, and 68.7. The radicle and seedling weights of paddy seeds were found as 1.19-1.69, 1.09-1.65, 1.05-1.48, and 0.69-0.95 g respectively, and the radicle and seedling lengths were found as 106.8-81.8, 98.6-81.6, 92.8-78.7, and 75.7-70.9 mm respectively. Besides, we found that the dry seedling weight of paddy was 0.18, 0.17, 0.16, and 0.09 g at air of 50, 60, 70, and 80 °C, respectively. In the current study, the drying at 80 °C was reduced seed viability and seedling vigour but found to be the least energy consumption; consequently, the drying at 50 °C was determined to be the highest for energy consumption.
