Nondestructie Germinability Assessment of Some Vegetable Seed by NIR Spectroscopy

NIR spectroscopy is widely used today as a quantitative anallytical technique for predicting the chemical composition of various agricultural products. However there exist few application for seed quality assessment, especially for seed germinability. This study was to show the possibilities of a nondestructive estimation of germinability in some vegetable seeds, such as radish, watermelon and cucurbitaceae. NIR spectral measurements were carried out on the seeds surface by single seed base and planted on blotters individually to observe germination. The seeds were characterized to nongermination and germination group, which in turn grouped to normal and abnormal germination and compared with the NIR spectra. The result suggested that NIR spectra could be applicable to determine the seeds germinability.
