Plantability and Flowability Assessments

SGS’s plantability/flowability assessments are a vital element of our seed testing services, particularly when multiple factors – such as seed quality, the various treatments available and seed-planting accuracy – may be of interest to your study.

Our plantability test determines the number of inaccuracies (such as failures and double seed drops) occurring within a given distance or area, while our flowability test assesses the seeds’ ability to move properly through the planting process. Given this valuable information about treatment quality and other variables, you can improve the efficiency of your operations.
