Abstract/Contents: | Outlines the process of the topographical tetrazolium test. This procedure allows for accurate determination of the viability of grass seed in a maximum of 2 days, as oppossed to the 14-28 days required by other methods of testing. A tetrazolium salt or a 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazoliumchloride is rendered into a water soluble form, and upon being absorbed by the grass seed cells, reacts with the cells enzymes and dyes the cell red if it is alive. Detailed descriptions and diagrams follow. |
