Germination multi-counts launched to aid in benchmarking sprout performance

Crops grown in controlled environments and fields rely on uniform germination, especially when the seed-to-harvest is a narrow timeline. We help you understand your vegetable seed performance through our unique multi-day sprout analysis.

Lettuce and onions are ideal crops for this laboratory service, which is a combination of an official germination result and early sprout counts, all at standard temperatures outlined by CFIA Methods and Procedures for Testing Seed. By evaluating multiple seed lots, you gain knowledge of which seed lots sprout early in the growth cycle compared to those that may lag. Your proactive approach and knowledge from comprehensive seed analysis is appreciated by high-value producers.

Crops grown in controlled environments and fields rely on consistent and uniform germination, especially when the seed-to-harvest timeline is short. Our unique multi-day sprout analysis helps you assess vegetable seed performance with precision. This service is particularly valuable for crops like lettuce and onions. It combines official germination results with early sprout counts, all conducted at standard temperatures following CFIA Methods and Procedures for Testing Seeds.

By analyzing multiple seed lots, you gain insights into which lots sprout early in the growth cycle and which may experience delays. This proactive approach, backed by comprehensive seed analysis, is highly valued by producers of high-value crops looking to optimize their yield potential.
