Seed Tech

Calculation seed germination in relation to storage time and storage conditions

Seed Tech

Seed Tech is an application that allows you to focus on the modeling of seed germination in relation to storage time and storage conditions.

You can calculate for FREE the viability equations that were developed in the 1960s, it is available only for Android. Seed Tech uses your phone's Internet connection (4G / 3G / 2G / EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to allow you to enter your user automatically. Change your username and address in the preferences menu.

WHY USE Seed Tech:

• NO CHARGES: Seed Tech uses your phone's Internet connection (4G / 3G / 2G / EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to allow you to be logged in with your user so you can have an app tailored to your needs ( Seed Tech does not market with your data).

• EQUATIONS: The viability equations developed from the 1960s and underpin all seed conservation practices. They predict the proportion of seeds in a population that are viable after any storage period in a wide range of environments and are useful for both seed bank managers and researchers investigating seed longevity.

• ALWAYS SIGNED IN: with Seed Tech, you will always be connected, no more confusion about whether you are logged in or if you have logged out.

• SEED TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT: The role of seed technology is to protect the biological entity of the seeds and take care of their well-being.

COWAN, 1973: defined seed technology as the "discipline of studies that have to do with the production, maintenance, quality and preservation of seeds".

FEISTRITZER, 1975: Seed technology as "the methods by which the genetic and physical characteristics of the seeds could be improved". It involves activities such as the development, evaluation and release of varieties, production, processing, storage and certification of seeds.

Seed technology includes the development of varieties of superior crop plants, their evaluation and release, seed production, processing, seed storage, seed testing, seed quality control, seed certification, seed marketing, distribution and distribution. Research on these aspects. Seed production, seed management based on modern botanical and agricultural sciences.

Undertake research to develop technologies for the production of quality seeds.

Organize outreach and capacity development programs to meet the needs of stakeholders and extension officials.

Seed production and distribution.

Research in this area contributes to the support of policies regarding seed production and technology.

The objective of this research area is to include the actors in the entire value chain from production to the end user in the research to contribute to sustainable agricultural production that meets the demands of society.

• PREDICT STORAGE TIME: Knowing the known constants for Asian rice (which can be modified) you must enter the percentage of humidity, storage condition, assumed initial viability and viability to predict storage time. So you can get: The days of storage period.

• ESTIMATE THE TEMPERATURE TO GIVE VIABILITY TO THE KNOWN MOISTURE CONTENT: Knowing the known constants for Asian rice (which can be modified) you must enter the days on which you intend to store the seeds, the assumed initial viability, the viability desired end at 365 days and the moisture content percentage. In this way you will get the temperature in degrees Celsius.

• ESTIMATE THE MOISTURE CONTENT TO GIVE VIABILITY TO KNOWN TEMPERATURE: Knowing the known constants for Asian rice (which can be modified) you must enter the days on which you intend to store the seeds, the assumed initial viability, the viability Desired end after 365 days and storage condition. This way you will get the moisture content.
