Germination Test on Carryover RIB Corn
Test Details
For carryover RIB corn samples, we recommend sending 5-8 pounds of seed (for a 95/5 blend). We will conduct a 400 seed germination test & a 200 seed cold test on the blend, and a separate 200 germination test on refuge seeds. Running these three tests generates a germination result for labeling, a cold test on the blended product to relate to the field, and a good estimate of the germination level of the refuge portion.
