This paper aims to present a review of seed technology, seed germination and vigor methods using image processing. Computer–aided image analysis techniques have been recently developed in monitoring seed growth and vigor. Their integration with the standard germination test is needed to describe the germination performance of a seed sample with high accuracy. The use of various modern image acq...

Fine fescue taxa differ in their field establishment rate but it is unclear if this due to differences germination or seedling growth rate. Research at Purdue University quantified seed morphology, vigor, and vigor among 30 cultivars of fine (FF) (Festuca spp.). Strong creeping red (STCRF) rubra ssp. rubra), slender (SLCRF) (F. littoralis), Chewings commutata), hard brevipila), sheep ovina) wer...

Seed security is of prime importance for agriculture. To protect true seeds from being faked, more secure dual anti-counterfeiting technologies for tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) pelleted seed were developed in this paper. Fluorescein (FR), rhodamine B (RB), and magnetic powder (MP) were used as anti-counterfeiting labels. According to their different properties and the special seed pelleting p...

to study the effect of salinity stress on seed germination and seedling growth of four medicinal plants, nigella sativa l., cannabis sativa l., trigonella foenum graecum and cynara scolymus l. an experiment was conducted in the botany laboratory of islamic azad university, birjand branch. a completely randomized design (crd) with 3 replications was used as separately for each species. treatment...

due to extent of zinc (zn) deficiency in soils of iran and its deficiency in human diet, this study investigated the effect of zn sulfate foliar applications (non-foliar application, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation stage, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation and grain filling stages, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation and 2 g/l at grain filling stages) on yield and its components (farm sector) and influence of grain ...
