TESTS FOR THE SELECTION OF FORAGE TURNIP PROGENY TO ORDER THE VIGOR AND LONGEVITY OF SEEDS [PDF]
Revista Caatinga, 2017 ABSTRACT Forage turnip (Raphanus sativus L. var. oleiferus Metzg.) progeny with seeds of higher physiological quality are of importance for farmers and seed producing companies. The objective of this work was to identify tests to be used in laboratories for the selection of turnip progeny having seeds of higher germination, vigor, seedling emergence in

339 ACC-DERIVED ETHYLENE PRODUCTION, A RAPID TEST FOR SEED VIGOR [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) was used to measure seed vigor of lettuce, cabbage, tomato, snap bean and sweet corn seeds. Accelerated aging at 40C and 93% RH over saturated solution of KH2PO4 and natural aging under ambient storage conditions (5-7C, 28 to 60% RH) were used to obtain seeds of differing vigor levels.

<b>Recent approaches for bell pepper seed vigor testing [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2014 Seed vigor is a major attribute in the determination of whether a seed lot can be commercialized. Different physiological tests are used to assess seed vigor and are generally based on different concepts, which could lead to variable interpretations, particularly when comparing lots presenting different vigor levels. This study was conducted to compare

Cold test on the vigor determination of Carthamus tinctorius L. seeds
Revista Brasileira de Ciências Agrárias - Brazilian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2021 In evaluating the quality of seed lots, vigor tests are complementary to the germination test, identifying differences in their degree of deterioration. However, for safflower seeds (Carthamus tinctorius L.) there is little information regarding these tests.

Accelerated ageing test to evaluate seed vigor in pumpkin and zucchini seeds
Seed Science and Technology, 2006 The accelerated ageing (AA) test is widely used to evaluate seed vigor in various species including vegetable crops. The objective of this work was to study procedures for conducting AA to evaluate seed vigor of pumpkin and zucchini seed lots. Five seed lots of commercially acceptable quality (germination) standards were selected from both cv.

Vigor and anaerobic metabolism of soybean seeds evaluated by ethanol test
Journal of Seed Science, 2023 Abstract: Among the vigor tests, ethanol is an alternative that provides desirable characteristics to be applied in seed-producing companies internal quality control planning. The aim was to evaluate the vigor of soybean seeds by the ethanol test and the fermentative metabolism after its application.
