| Abstract | This manual provides comprehensive guidance on basic seed tests that can be conducted on a farm to ensure seed quality, saving money for farmers and dealers. The manual covers six essential seed tests: variety characteristics (length, shape, 1,000-seed weight), moisture content (electronic tester and drying oven method), impurity (weed seeds and other contaminants), and germination. Practical instructions are provided for each test, including how to conduct the tests and interpret the results. By following these straightforward methods, users can assess seed viability, purity, and suitability for storage, which are critical for successful crop production. | |
