Seed Selection, Sowing Practices, and Seed Care
Selecting certified seed lots with high physical purity ensures uniform field emergence and optimal plant density per acre.
Treating seeds with bio-fungicides and Rhizobium cultures prior to sowing protects seedlings from soil-borne pathogens.
- Verify packaging: Purchase seeds in sealed, tamper-evident bags with official Blue (Certified) or Truthful Label tags.
- Germination testing: Conduct a quick pre-sowing germination test on 50 to 100 seeds to confirm lot viability.
- Seed dressing: Inoculate with Trichoderma viride or approved chemical seed dressings before sowing to prevent collar rot.
