seed lot

A seed lot is a specific quantity of seed produced from a single source or harvest, characterized by uniform quality and genetic qualities. It is a distinct batch that has been gathered, tested, and stored together for planting. Seed lots are used to ensure consistency and traceability in agricultural production, allowing farmers and suppliers to select appropriate seeds based on quality, variety, and intended use. Proper management of seed lots helps maintain seed health, purity, and vigor, which are essential for optimal plant growth and yield.
