Experimental Factors Affecting Studying Characteristics of Seed Storage

In this paper,the basic design principles of experiment to determine seed storage behaviour and appropriate environments for seed storage were summarized.The experimental investigation of seed storage is a two-stage procedure: determination of seed desiccation tolerance at first and then measuration of viability after storage in various environments.The methods of seed harvesting,transportation,processing,desiccation,determination of moisture and viability all affect the accuracy of experimental results.
