How to judge the quality of tomato seeds? The quality of tomato seeds mainly depends on seed plumpness, germination rate, germination energy and seed purity. (1) plumpness is the fullness of the seed. It is generally expressed by the weight of a thousand seeds, that is, the mass of 1000 seeds (grams). The greater the weight of a thousand seeds, the fuller the seeds. The average 1000-seed weight of tomato seeds is about 3.1 grams. (2) the germination rate refers to the percentage of germinable seeds in the sample seeds. The germination rate of tomato seeds is required to reach more than 90%. (3) germination power refers to the percentage of germinated seeds in the tested seeds within a specified number of days. It is the quantitative index of seed germination speed, uniformity and germination concentration. The required days for the determination of germination potential of tomato seeds are 5 days. (4) seed purity refers to the percentage of the number of plants in accordance with the characteristics of this variety in the total number of identified plants. The purity of tomato seeds is more than 95%. Hybrids are divided into primary species and secondary species. The purity of the primary seed is not less than 98.0%, and the purity of the secondary seed is not less than 95.0%.
