Sanborn and Leroy J. Higgins The University of New Hampshire Durham, N. H. 1S02t '<<5- RESULTS OF SEED TESTS Made July 1, 1934 to June 30, 1935 o This report contains the results of the inspection for the State Department of Agriculture of three hundred and ninety-one official samples collected throughout the State during the period from July 1, 193-1-, to June 30, 1935. Each of these samples was analyzed and the results mailed to the retail dealers concerned. In addition to these official samples, sixty-eight private samples were analyzed, making a total of four hundred and fifty-nine samples inspected. The seed law does not prohibit the sale of poor seed but it does require that all seed be labelled to show its quality. The buyer is protected by observing the guarantee. The purpose of the seed inspection work is to determine, within reasonable limits, whether a sample of seed is as good as it is guaranteed to be. Samples found "below" must be remarked or removed from sale. The attention of seed purchasers should be called to the fact that the germination figure is based on the pure seed present, and is a statement of the actual num- ber of seeds in every hundred that are capable of growth. The actual value of a sample for production purposes cannot be greater than the product of the percentage of purity multiplied by the percentage of germination. For instance, in the case of a sample of unhuUed Red Top, guaranteed 50 per cent purity and 90 per cent germination, the actual seeding value of the sample is .50 X .90, or 45 per cent (not 90% as might be as- sumed from looking at germination only. In other words, 45 per cent of the weight of that sample is live seed, the rest is inert matter or dead seeds. Likewise, in the case of a sample of Alsike Clover, guaranteed 2 N. H. Experiment Station 91.15 per cent purity, and 87 per cent germination, the actual seeding value of the sample is .91 1 5 x .87, or 79 per cent. A certain amount of variation is to be expected in comparing the results of two or more purity analyses. For this reason a "tolerance" or difference is allowed between the average results of our tests and the guaran- tee in accordance with the following formula. The sample is considered as being made up of two parts, the one being the pure seed and the other the balance of the sample. The tolerance in per cent allowed for the larger part or pure seed is two-tenths of one per cent plus 20 per cent of the lesser part. For instance, if a sample is guaranteed 99.60 per cent pure seed, it may test as low as 99.32 per cent or as high as 99.88 per cent and would be "satisfactory." In the same way, a sample guaranteed 92.80 per cent may test as low as 91.17 per cent or as high as 94.43 per cent and be "satisfactory." If a sample is found to be better than the highest figure in the tolerance, it is marked "Above" in this bulledn; if lower than the lowest figure, the actual figure is reported. A wider tolerance for germination than for purity is allowed between the results of the test and the guaran- tee, as follows: Guarantee I /o ulowable v % 90 or over 80 or over but less than 90 70 or over but less than 80 60 or over but less than 70 Less than 60 6 7 8 9 10 Accordingly, a sample guaranteed 92 per cent germi- nation is "satisfactory" if it tests 86 per cent to 98 per cent. A sample guaranteed 85 per cent may fall as low as 78 per cent or as high as 92 per cent. If a N. H. Experiment Station sample tests higher than the per cent of variation al- lowed, it is marked "Above" in this bulletin or, if it tests below the variation allowed, the actual figure is reported. The summary table on the last page will show the general results of the seed inspection work for the year ending June 30, 1935. COMPARISON OF SEEDS FOR SIX YEARS It will be noted from the above tabulation that the percentage of samples below the guarantee as to purity is somewhat higher than last year. The percentage below the guarantee as to germination is considerably higher than it has been during recent years, principally on account of more samples of Timothy falling below the allowable variation than usual, in some cases the seed being two or three years old.
