seed storage

Seed storage involves preserving seeds so they remain viable for planting later. Proper storage conditions—cool, dry, and dark—slow down aging and prevent mold, pests, and disease. Using airtight containers or vacuum-sealing helps control humidity and pests. Keeping seeds at low temperatures, like in a refrigerator or specialized storage facility, extends their potential life. Proper seed storage ensures quality, vigor, and the ability to grow healthy plants when needed. It is essential for seed banks, farmers, and gardeners aiming for sustainable and reliable crop production.
