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 ...

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.
