Abstract
Routine methods to be adopted for seed health testing must fulfil the following demands of efficiency and economy:
-
(1)
A test must give reliable information pertaining to field performance and quarantine requirements.
-
(2)
The results must be reproducible within statistical limits.
-
(3)
The time, labour and equipment for carrying through a test must be kept within economic limits.
-
(4)
In tests requiring incubation the results must be made available quickly.
