DESCRIPTION

    

Recommended for the reliable evaluation of seeds..
  • All papers are madeof pure cellulose and are free from any toxic substances, which might interfere with the growth of seeds.
  • Sufficient moisture is stord for the whole duration od the rest.
  • The papers have an open pore structure for a high degree of water absorption, but the roots are not able to grow into the paper.
  • Coloured papers with higher contrast to the rootlets for easier evaluation.
  • The pH of the papers is between 6.0 and 7.5.
  • Some papers are available as pleated strips for ensuring a better contact between seeds ans substrate, and for a better separation of the individual seeds.
  • All seed testing papers meet the ISTA and AOSA rules.
  • Broad range of papers for the various germination methods TP, BP, PP(1).

(1) ISTA methods:

  • TP (top of paper): The seed is placed on one or more layers of paper and then allowed to germinate in a coplenhagen tank, Petri dish or incubator.
  • BP (between paper): The seeds are placed betwen two horizaontal layers of paper or are rolled up in vertical standing rolls of paper.
  • PP (pleated paper): The seeds are placed between the folds of a paper strip folded like a piano accordion. The pleated strips are placed in a plastic box and kept uniformly moist by a surrounding wrapping strip.
