Seed Viability Test
A seed viability test determines whether seeds are capable of germinating and growing into healthy plants. It typically involves taking a small sample of seeds, placing them in favorable conditions like moisture and suitable temperature, and observing how many sprout within a set period. The test helps farmers and gardeners assess seed quality and decide whether the seeds are worth planting. High viability means most seeds will germinate, ensuring a good start for crops or plants, while low viability indicates many seeds may be dormant or dead, potentially leading to poor growth outcomes.
