Germination and germination energy of corn seeds

Friends and colleagues, good day to all. As an independent expert in the field of crop production, and simply as a specialist in the problems of growing corn, I often come across such questions as: seed quality, seed germination and seed growth energy.

First, let's understand for ourselves what seed germination is - it is the percentage of normally germinated seeds. For each crop, it is determined individually, in particular for corn it is considered on the 7th day. This indicator is determined in the laboratory by germinating seeds, however, it can be determined on the farm, having the appropriate equipment and observing a certain algorithm of actions prescribed in GOST.

At the same time, we can determine the energy of seed germination, which characterizes the friendliness of seed germination, for corn is determined on the 4th day.

Naturally, these indicators directly depend only on the quality of a particular seed, and then on conditions and storage, etc.

It is impossible to improve or increase the vigor of seed germination and seed germination for corn, and probably for other crops, by using any drugs.

But to keep the whole crop in the field, in comparison with laboratory germination - of course, you can even need

Therefore, dear agricultural producers, purchase seeds from reliable partners, because "strong" seeds are the key to high yields.
