Temperature and Humidity Monitoring for Seed Storage
Maintenance of seed quality in storage from the time of production until the seed is planted is imperative to ensure its planting value. Seed moisture and storage temperature are the most important factors in determining how long seed can be stored.
General Recommendation
Therefore, seed should be stored in cool, dry locations, and not exposed to direct sunlight. For short-term storage, seed should be kept in a location where temperatures are approximately 59°F (15°C). Avoid locations where temperatures rise above 68°F (20°C) and below 33°F (1°C). Relative humidity levels between 40 and 60% are recommended. For long-term storage, seed shouldn’t be stored in a place where temperatures above 70°F (21°C) and humidity levels above 60%.
The Dangers of Not Monitoring the Temperature & Humidity
High temperatures and humidity can reduce seed vigor and germination rates, and result in the premature deterioration of the seeds. And the storage fungi like Aspergillus and Penicillium genera have the capacity to grow at very low seed moisture content. They cause seed deterioration by producing toxic substances that destroy the cells of seeds.
Our Solution
The best prevention to these problems is to store seeds in the recommended environment and monitor environmental temperature and humidity fluctuations.
