GERMINATION TESTS
Capacity measures the percentage of seeds in a sample that are able to successfully sprout under ideal conditions.
Energy is the percentage of seeds that germinate within a set time period under ideal conditions.
It involves taking a random sample of seeds from a batch, put them in the conditions that make them most likely to germinate, and see how many develop into healthy growth in what timeframe expressed as a percentage of the total number.
