 SELECT QUALITY SEEDS

Healthy and good quality seeds are the roots of a healthy crop.
The seeds that are used to cultivate new crops have to be selected very
carefully and of high quality. The good quality seeds can either be bought
from different sources or farmers can produce by their own.

Seed is a fertilized and ripened ovule which may develop into a plant
by means of germination. Germination is the development of the seed into a
young plant.

Some plants have nave no active growth response, it is known as the

dormancy period or the resting period of a certain seed.

Seeds must undergo seed testing to assure the farmers that the seeds
planted has the ability to germinate. Seed testing is the operation involve in
determining whether or not seeds are viable. Free from diseases, injuries and
foreign matters or their combination.

SECURING SEEDS

There are two ways of securing the seeds to be planted:

1. You can buy seeds from seed stores in your town or order from reliable
seed producers in the city.
2. You can also produce your seeds to plant.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN SECURING YOUR SEEDS TO PLANT

• Quality of the product

• Adaptation of seeds to one’s locality.

ADVANTAGES OF PRODUCING YOUR OWN SEEDS

• Supply of seeds for your farm is always made available.

• Higher percentage of germination is assured.
• Improvement of quality and quantity of the produce is possible

10
DISADVANTAGES OF PRODUCING YOUR SEEDS

• Seed growing is an exacting work.

• It competes with the normal work in the nursery.
• It calls for knowledge of the principles of plant breeding.
• It calls for keen observation.
• It requires close application of details.

Farmers are very much aware that the quality of seeds affects the yield
of crops but still many are using low quality seeds. This is because of the
inability of some farmers to secure good quality seeds.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GOO SEEDS

1 Damage free –seeds that do not possess cracks, holes and are not
broken.
2. True- to-type - seeds that carry the desirable characteristics of the
parents.
3. Viable – seeds that germinate and able to survive until the stored food
in the cotyledon is consumed up to the time it can support itself by
absorbing plant food nutrients from the soil through their root system.
4. Free from mixtures – seeds that are free from weed seeds and other
foreign matters.
5. Free from seed borne diseases
6. Properly developed – The size of seeds depends upon the amount of
food stored in it. It is important that the seeds are large, plump and well
developed. If the seeds are small and wrinkled, they may not contain
enough stored food for their initial growth that is why crops that grow
from poorly developed seeds are stunted during the early stages of
growth and never recover sufficiently to produce normal plants.

After selecting your seeds, you must also test the viability of your seeds.

SEED TESTING

PURPOSES OF SEED TESTING

• Discover whether or not the seed is true to its name, except as to
variety.
• Ascertain whether or not it has been intentionally adulterated.
• Remove the relative proportions of inert material and of foreign seed.
• Disclose the presence of noxious or other weed seeds.
• Find out the percentage of seed germination
11
 • Find out the amount of seeds needed to plant in a given area.
• Economize labor and expenses in re-planting.
• Obtain a uniform stand of crops.

METHODS OF SEED TESTING

• FLOATING IN WATER All floating seeds are thrown away for they are
empty and are not going to germinate. This method is also true to
vegetable seeds.
• BREAKING THE SEED COAT. This method is practiced to seeds that have
hard seed coat.
• WINNOWING. If you winnow, all the seeds that are blown away or
carried away by the wind are empty.
• Germinating the seeds using the following methods:
a. rag doll
b. seed box
c. petri dish/plate

SEED GERMINATION

External conditions required in the germination of seeds

• Viability or vitality. The seed must be viable with a good alive embryo.
Immature and unhealthy seeds produce weak and unhealthy plants.
• Proper amount of moisture. The soil must be moist. Soil must contain
sufficient quantity of moisture necessary for germination. The seed
absorbs moisture which cause, all the parts to soften and swell to burst
its covering and allow the embryo to come out. If the soil is too dry the
seed could hardly absorb water to hasten its germination.
• Proper degree of temperature and amount of light.
• Suitability of the soil.

WHY DO SOME SEEDS FAIL TO GERMINATE?

• The seeds are in their dormant stage.

• The seed coat is thick and hard.
• The seeds are immature.
• The seeds have dead embryo.
• The ground is too dry
• The weather is too cold

12
SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR SOME SEEDS IN ORDER TO GERMINATE

• By cracking the seed coat. If the seed has thick and hard seed coat,
crack or file it to allow water and oxygen to get inside the seed.
• By heating. If the seed is in a dormant stage, heat it a little. By heating it
up, the embryo becomes active as it starts to grow. Overheating is also
dangerous as it will kill the embryo.
• By better storage facilities. The death of the seed embryo due to faulty
storage facilities may be prevented by the use of better one where
seeds are kept up until planting time.

When a seed begins to germinate, the root is the first part to grow. It
becomes well established before the other parts of the embryo emerge
above the surface of the soil so that the seedlings may not be easily
dislodged from its position and the parts which are soon to be exposed to
the drying influence of the sun and wind and may continually be supplied
with water from the soil. The seed must be covered with fine soil more or less
as thick as the seed itself.

DETERMINING THE PERCENTAGE OF GERMINATION OF SEEDS

Below are the rules in computing the % of germination of seeds

Rule 1: If you test 100 seeds, the number of seeds germinated equals the
percentage germination of the seeds.
Example: You tested 100 seeds of eggplant using the rag doll method, 85
seeds germinated. The % of germination of the seeds then is 85%.

Rule 2. If you test less than or more than 100 seeds use the formula below in
computing the % of germination of the seeds.

Example: Mr. X tested 125 seeds of hybrid tomato and 105 germinated. What
is the % of germination of the tomato seeds?

No. of seeds germinated

% Germination = _________________________ x 100

No. of seeds tested

105
= x 100
125
13
 10500
= 125

% Germination = 84 %

Rule 3. If you found out that the % of germination of your seeds is below 80,
you need to adjust your seed bulk. Use the formula below in adjusting the
seed bulk.

Amount of seeds needed

Adjusted amount of seed = _________________________ x 100

% germination
Example:

You needed 200 seedlings to plant your garden. You found out that your
seeds have only 75 % germination. How many seeds will you sow?

Let: X = the number of seeds to sow or your adjusted seeds

200
X = ___________ X 100
75
20,000
= __________ X 100
75

= 266.6 or 267 seeds

LET US REMEMBER

It is important to select good quality seeds to attain quantity and

quality harvest. Likewise, it is also necessary to test your seeds before planting
them to economize time, labor and expenses.

When seeds fail to germinate, treat them to break their dormancy

period and to hasten seed germination.
