Abstract
ABSTRACT AN improved, indoxyl acetate test for detecting seed-coat cracks in soybeans was developed, test results were compared with results from use of sodium hypochlorite and tetrazolium tests. The indoxyl acetate test caused seeds to stain a blue-green color in the area of a seedcoat crack. The test was effective in finding higher levels of seedcoat cracks than the sodium hypochlorite and tetrazolium tests and detected minute seedcoat im-perfections in as much as 16 percent of the seeds that would have otherwise gone undetected by visual observa-tion alone. The indoxyl acetate test did not have any adverse effect on warm germination percentages of un-damaged seeds.
