The selection of high vigour seeds significantly affects stand establishment and initial plant
growth, particularly in harsh environments. Several tests, including standard germination …

Soybean seed vigour declines with increase in storage duration, due to ageing, which can
be alleviated through seed priming. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects …

The development of seed vigour testing methods is important for high seed quality selection
and, consequently, ensuring high seedling emergence and uniform establishment in the …

Physiological potential characterization of seed lots is usually performed by germination and
vigor tests; however, the choice of a single test does not reflect such potential, once each …
