Re: Seed Viability Test[s]

Probably the simplest method to check for dead seed, is to put a few 
seeds in water from the tap, place in a warm, light spot for a couple of 
days.  Dead seed, chaff, etc., usually develops a fuzz of mold, easily 
visible with a lens in bright light.

I noticed this when I used porcelain laboratory spotting dishes with shallow 
cells that for GA3 treatment of seeds. but any suitable container could 
be used.
