BREEDERS AND GROWERS 47. Seed analysis section in the Asgrow Research Center Good seed, as we understand the term, is viable, clean, disease-free, and true to type. The most essential character of any lot of Asgrow seed is its ability to germinate and produce normal plants under average conditions. One of the first functions of a seed laboratory is that of determining seed viability so that such seed may be evaluated for use by our customers. Viability implies ability both to germinate and to grow when proper environmental conditions are provided. Broken, malformed or other seedlings incapable of producing plants are considered as not having germinated. A second function is to determine the purity of seed stocks by computing freedom from dirt, chaff, other crop seeds, and weed seeds. If weed seeds or other crop seeds are present, it is necessary to identify them accurately and to report if any noxious weeds are present. A third function of a seed laboratory is to determine if seed may be contaminated either internally or externally with bacterial or fungus organisms that are pathogenic to the seed or the plants that are expected to develop from the seed. Our germination and analytical laboratory at the Asgrow Research Center, Twin Falls, Idaho, is properly equipped and staffed to perform these functions efficiently and on a large scale. As we handle a very large number of samples, room germinators are used. (See page 27.) Complete and accurate records are made and kept of all operations in the laboratory. These records are on permanent file, for ready reference. Purity and germination samples are retained in a systematic file for at least one year after the entire crop represented by the
