Seed testing

Seed testing is performed for a number of reasons, including research purposes or to determine if seed storage techniques are functioning. There are four tests most commonly done. The first two listed below are common for scientific research.

For commercially sold seed, all four of these tests are done in dedicated laboratories by trained and usually certified analysts. The tests are designed to evaluate the quality of the seed lot being sold.[1]
