Abstract
Abstract Garden bean seeds stored under high temperature (32.2°C) and relative humidity (90%) for periods up to 15 weeks showed a drop in germination after 9 weeks with the standard laboratory germination test while a recently developed vigor test for beans (Epicotyl wt measurement) showed a loss in vigor after only 3 weeks of storage. We conclude that this new testing procedure can be used to measure loss of vigor in bean seed stored under unfavorable conditions before a loss of viability is detected by the standard germination test.
