With 2021 underway, it is a perfect time to take a look at your seed's quality for the coming season. Seed testing is an important tool for determining seedlot quality, seeding rates, and ensuring you’re starting the season with the best foundation for a strong stand establishment.
In the first episode of Wheat Profit, our guest, Shanna Stolhandske-Dale of Seed Solutions Seed Labs, discusses seed testing at a government accredited seed lab. Frost, sprouting, disease, and many other factors can affect seed quality. In this episode, we talk about what to look for in a seed test, the best time to seed test, the main potential causes of low germ and vigor, the difference in vigor and germ and what these tests entail, the benefits of seed treatments, and determining seeding rates. Shanna outlines why seed testing is such a valuable tool for producers and gives pointers on what to look for in test results.
