seed purity testing

Seed purity testing assesses whether a seed sample contains only the desired species and variety, free from contaminants like weed seeds, other crop seeds, or broken seed parts. This process involves carefully examining a representative sample under magnification to identify and count different seed types. Accurate purity testing ensures farmers get high-quality seeds, leading to better crop yields and reduced risks from unwanted plants. It’s a standard quality control step to confirm seed quality before planting.
