SeedA seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering with small quantity of food storage.

Seed Testing

Seed testing is determining the standards of a seed, physical purity, moisture, germination and thereby enabling the farming community to get quality seeds.

A-Germination Test :B-Viability test: A test for viability that involves three steps:1.preconditioning (imbibition)2. preparation and staining3. evaluation (examining the seed for a color change in the embryo).

Types of tests

C-Purity test: D-Weed Test:

Equipment Required for Seed Testing LaboratoryThe rule for testing seeds includes the type of equipment and its specifications. The equipment for a seed testing laboratory, therefore, should be selected accordingly. Only the best available should be purchased. The following list of equipment may serve as a guideline.
