The moisture regulation of sand and filter paper, used for germination beds in the current soybean germination evaluation system, is difficult because of uneven germination, mold, and rot. Therefore, stable evaluation conditions were examined. (1) Vermiculite served as a bed material suitable for germination. (2) The material was prepared with a 1-mm sieve, 400-ml water supply at the bottom of a container (18 cm * 13 cm * 7.5-cm depth) and coating with 0.04-mm thick polyethylene film, thereby stabilizing germination rates.
