1042 UNDERSTANDING SEED VIGOR [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 Seed vigor is an important consideration today for seed companies as well as seed consumers. Effective use of seed vigor is, however, significantly hampered due to a lack of understanding and education on the subject. Benefits and limitations of seed vigor information will be addressed as they relate to seed companies, regulatory agencies and the seed ...

Improved assessment of wheat seeds vigor [PDF]
Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2012 The tetrazolium test is widely used for seed vigor assessment of various plant species. For wheat, however, there is no methodology specifically recommended. This study aimed at determining an efficient procedure to evaluate vigor of wheat seeds by this test; besides allowing the establishment of seed quality classes.

Seed storage: maintaining seed viability and vigor for restoration use [PDF]
Restoration Ecology, 2020 Effective seed storage after sourcing (harvesting or purchasing) is critical to restoration practitioners and native seed producers, as it is key to maintaining seed viability. Inadequate seed storage can lead to a waste of both natural and economic resources when seeds of poor quality are sown.
