SEEDS HAVING PROLONGED SHELF-LIFE AND A METHOD FOR OBTAINING SUCH SEEDS

摘要

A method of treating primed seeds which results in a prolongation of shelf life compared to optionally dried conventionally primed seeds of the same species having substantially the same moisture content (MC), characterised in that the primed seeds are subjected to a water stress, a heat treatment or a combination thereof and are subsequently- where desired-dried back to a desired MC.
