The variability of grain yield, seed morphometric and vigour traits of early maturing hybrid maize [PDF]
Breeding for yield and quality requires the assessment of the seed metrics and vigour traits. This study, therefore, assessed the variability and interdependence of grain yield (GY), seed morphometric and vigour traits in hybrid maize.

Studies on the Vigour of Soybean Seeds : I. Varietal Differences in Seed Vigour
The association of flowering, growth period, reproductive growth period, seed size, the occurrence of defective seed and seed coat colour with varietal differences in seed vigour were investigated using 38 late maturing cultivars originating from Indonesia, America and Japan under the climatic condition of Fukuoka City.

EFFECT OF SOWING, HARVESTING DATES AND STORAGE PERIODS ON RICE (Oryzae sativa, L.,) SEED VIABILITY AND SEEDLING VIGOUR [PDF]
Sowing and harvesting dates as well as storage periods have considerable influence on rice seed quality as measured by seed viability, seedling vigour, 100- seed dry weight, dehydrogenase activity, electrical conductivity, seed moisture content and ...

Seed vigour is "the sum total of those properties of the seed which determine the level of activity and performance of the seed or seed lot during germination and seedling emergence". Seed vigour is an important quality parameter which needs to be assessed to supplement germination and viability tests to gain insight into the performance of a seed lot ...

Proline Priming Enhances Seed Vigour and Biochemical Attributes of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) during Germination. [PDF]
Seed vigour is a desirable trait especially for direct seeded rice (DSR) cultivation. Seeds with high vigour could improve seed germination, support seedlings in competing with weeds for water and nutrients, and improving seedling establishment ...

AbstractSeed vigour is an important aspect of seed quality. It is a quantitative trait which is responsible for overall seed performance in terms of rate and uniformity of seed germination, seedling growth, emergence ability under unfavourable environments and post storage performance. Seed vigour is controlled by genetic factors, initial seed quality,

Effects of production methods on seed vigour of soybean seeds
The seed accelerated ageing test is one of the most important tests for testing seed vigour, which provides the determination of the degree of preservation for germination and the determination of the duration of the seed storage. The aim of this study was to observe effects of two different production methods (organic and conventional) on ...

The effect of cultural and environmental factors on potato seed tuber morphology and subsequent sprout and stem development [PDF]
Seed crops of the variety Estima were grown in each of 2 years using two planting dates, two harvest dates, two plant densities and two irrigation regimes to produce seed tubers which had experienced different cultural and environmental conditions.
