Fluorescent light is used to allow chlorophyll production. Three prerequisites for "good" seed are that the seed shall be (1) Viable, (2) Clean, (3) Disease-free. The most essential character of any Asgrow seed is its ability to germinate and produce normal plants under aver- age conditions.

The most essential character of any Asgrow seed is its ability to germinate and produce normal plants under aver- age conditions. One of the primary functions of a seed laboratory is that of determining seed viability so that such seed may be evalu- ated for use by our customers. Viabil- ity implies ability to germinate and grow when proper environmental con- ditions are provided. A seed may be considered to have germinated when it develops those structures which are commonly recognized in different vari- eties, species, or families of plants as essential to normal seedlings. Broken, malformed or other seedlings which are known to be incapable of producing plants under suitable laboratory condi- tions are to be considered as not having 2.
