| Abstract/Contents: | "Seed quality encompasses several important attributes of each seed lot that represent the collective planting performance potential. Although all seed quality components are important, the single most recognized and accepted index of seed quality is germination. Seed analysts determine the germination capacity of a seed lot as the percentage of pure crop seed that will produce a 'normal' seeding under optimum laboratory conditions. The procedures for conducting a germination test have been carefully evaluated and standardized for many years and the test is commonly referred to as the standard germination test." |
