This document discusses the basic competency of taking care of seeds, including seed processing, testing, packing, and storage. Seed processing involves threshing, drying, and cleaning seeds to remove hulls and debris. Seed testing ensures purity, determines water content, and evaluates germination rates. Seeds are packed to facilitate management, transport, storage and maintain viability. Proper storage aims to maintain seed viability and vigor for as long as possible.

Subject : Basic of Vocational Competency Class/Semester : X/1 Competensy Standard : Plant Generative Multiplying Basic Competency : Take Care of Seed Time Alocation : 3 x 45 minutes Main Material : • Seed Processing • Seed Testing • Seed Packing • Seed Storing Seed Processing
1. Seed thresing : separate seed
from other part of plant like hull or skin 2. Seed drying : decreasing water content to keeping viability procentage 3. Seed cleaning : separate seed from other part of seed Seed Testing 1. Purity Testing : ensure the use of the seed is truly pure, clean, and not mixed with other materials 2. Water Content Testing : determine the water content in the seed 3. Power shoot test: test the ability of seeds normally germinate from seed in a number of time periods that have been determined Seed Packing
Destination packaging seeds in
general to: Facilitate management of the seed. Facilitate transport of seeds within the marketing Facilitate the storage of seeds with a sufficient condition. Maintain the percentage of seed viabilitas Reduce whipping (pressure / influence) natural Maintain the water content of seeds Seed Storage
Aims: to maintain viabilitas (power and shoot
growing strength / vigor) seeds in the store as long as possible
