Purity Test
A purity test analyses for contaminants such as weed seeds, other crop seeds, broken seed, soil, insects and any other contaminants as defined by the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA). Varietal purity is also important for when a variety is chosen for cultivation based on its disease resistance, length of maturity and agronomic characteristics.Germination Test
A germination test determines the germination potential of seed. This information can be used to estimate the optimum sowing rate based on germination percentage, expected emergence, and target plant populations.Vigour Test
Environmental stress is not accounted for in a germination test. Seed lots with equalgermination but different vigour can result in much different plant establishment.
A Vigour Test indicates the potential for rapid, uniform emergence and development of normal seedlings under a wide range of field conditions.
