Interaction of Moisture and Temperature on Viability of Forage Seeds Stored in Hermetically Sealed Cans
1959
Ching, T. M. | Parker, M. C. | Hill, D. D.
SynopsisCrimson clover containing 6% moisture remained highly viable after 3 years under all temperature conditions, while ryegrass showed some decline in germination at 38° C. Seed with 8% moisture preserved well except at 38° C, whereas seed with 12 and 16% moisture remained viable only at 3° C. Seed with 16 and 20% moisture at 22° and 38° C. deteriorated within 3 months. Decline of viability could be retarded by improved storage conditions.
