FACTORS AFFECTING THE GERMINATION AND ESTABLISHMENT OF MONOGERM SUGAR BEET


3.1.2   Seed Characteristics

 

One hundred air-dried seeds from each lot were weighed, (before and after de-pelleting by washing in running tap water where necessary).  The true seeds were dissected out from all seeds by lifting the seed cap with a dissecting needle, after soaking in water for 12 hours, and then weighed individually.  The relationships between total and true seed weights were determined.  Moisture contents of each seed lot were also determined using an infra-red moisture meter and milled seed samples.
