Accelerated Aging Test to Determine the Vigor of Mungbean Seeds

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2019
The use of good quality seeds is fundamental for proper establishment of a crop. In this way, for more precise determination of seed quality, vigor tests are performed in addition to the germination test. These tests enable the selection of the best lots for commercialization and planting.

Seed Vigor Test for the Establishment of Switchgrass

, 2023
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), a high-yielding perennial C4 prairie grass species, is a top candidate as a bioenergy feedstock for cellulosic ethanol production. Seedling establishment is a primary concern given the inherent variability in switchgrass seed dormancy. Determining current states of seed quality in terms of emergence percentage is crucial
