Seed Germinator

A Seed Germinator is a precision-controlled laboratory instrument designed for germination testing of seeds under controlled environmental conditions of temperature, humidity, and illumination. It is widely used in agricultural research institutes, seed testing laboratories, universities, and quality control labs.

Seed germinators help determine seed viability, germination percentage, vigor, and uniformity, in accordance with ISTA and IS specifications.
