Seeds Drying

Seeds are required to be preserved for processing & for sowing in future. Seeds must be protected to keep its germination potential intact, the loss of germination potential of seeds means that seeds are no longer useful and is waste. The seeds are dried before they are stored. Seeds storage is a process of maintaining the seeds germination & vigor from harvest till its planting again. The purpose is to preserve physical condition of the seeds. Seeds are stored for a period between harvest & plantation and depend upon the period between harvest & plantation, the seeds storage period is defined. Seeds are also stored against any natural disaster as a contingency plan hence seeds for such purpose are stored for long term. Some seeds being seasonal hence storage/preservation of seeds is required till the season is back.
Seeds are stored for short term, medium term & long term. The storage conditions are different for all the three types of storages. Seeds storage required both temperature & Humidity control (RH).
