ergonomic working height glass shutters fitted with handles for easy handling lighting periods are controlled automatically the wicks absorb water and the filter paper keep moist at all times The germination test is made to establish the maximum number of seed which can germinate under optimum conditions (i.e. light, moisture and temperature). This information is important for the seed plant manager to determine and keep records of the quality and value of the seed lot and also for the nursery manager to determine how many seed needs to be sown in each cell. Furthermore, it gives the nursery...

V The germination table should be adjusted according to the following parameters: - Night: 16 hours @ 20°C e.g. 16h00-08h00 - Day: 8 hours @ 30°C e.g. 08h00-16h00 V Germinated seeds should be counted after 7 days, after 14 days and finally after 21 days. If there are seed that germinates after 21 days, continue the count until 28 days. V The germinant should be 4 times its seed length. - The germination percent = the sum of germination of the 4 replicates ^ 4 - The germination energy = the number of seed germinated after 7 days ^ the total number of seed germinating at the end of the test....
