    High germ – low vigour: Seed quality quandaries?

    By 20/20 Seed Labs | News, Seed Quality Information, Seed Quality Updates | Comments are Closed | 23 January, 2019 | 0
    print
    20/20 Seed Labs Inc. has identified that seed harvested after the rain and snow in late 2018 has serious issues.
    Germination results are borderline at 80-85%, barely making grade, and as such have low vigour results. Dormancy (seed that’s typically viable) is masking a number of underlying detrimental issues such as chemical damage, frost and immaturity.
    We are asking you to retest if you think your seed has seeding potential. Please don’t leave your seed quality until the last minute. Our indication of seed losing germination and vigour is troubling.
    A good germination and low vigour can be managed. Compensating with a higher seeding rate is beneficial, however starting with an optimum soil temperature is recommended.
    We can profile the seeds ability to germinate under the best conditions by providing the optimum temperature for field emergence.  Our Cereal Stress Profile will give you the correct temperature for your seed emergence with a comparison to your germination result.  We will find the sweet spot for germination and help you manage your questionable lots.  Each of our clients will have different profiles so we will work with you on an individual basis.
    Get clear  and decisive information for $96.00 (includes a temperature profile evaluation and a germination).
    Tested  your germ previously ?
    If you only want  the cereal stress profile we will be happy to conduct that on a new submitted sample for $68.00.
    A fresh sample is needed to ensure we have a sample out of current conditions.
