Abstract

Objective: Study on the standard of Ferula sinkinangensis seed quality classification.

Method: Chose 30 samples of Ferula sinkiangensis seed. Weight per 1000 seeds, seed germination percentage, seed viability, seed purity, and content of water were mensurated. According to the data, standard of the seed quality classification was set up.

Result: Seed germination percentage and weight per 1000 seeds are described as major standard of seed quality classification and others as reference. The first grading seed were described as that, seed viability percentage more than 85.9% and weight per 1000 seeds more than 25.7 g. The second grading seed were described as that, seed viability percentage more than 59.1% and weight per 1000 seeds more than 22.1 g.

Conclusion: Set up standard of Ferula sinkinangensis seed quality classification.
