Suitable for storage of recalcitrant seeds for a few months over winter. Seeds may be stored in heaps on the ground, in shallow pits in well-drained soils or in layers in well ventilated sheds, often covered or mixed with leaves, moist sand, peat or other porous materials (Holmes and Buszewicz 1958, Magini 1962).n some cases the seeds can be despatched in the same containers in which they were stored. In others it may be advisable to transfer them from a large container in storage to a smaller container for despatch. Individual nurseries may require only a small quantity of a given seed lot.
Because they are sensitive to drying, recalcitrant seeds must be stored at 92 to 98% RH. The best storage temperature depends on the chilling sensitivity of the species. Seeds from many tropical fruits (mango, avocado, cocoa, jackfruit) are sensitive to ch illing and should be stored at â¥15 Â°C (59 Â°F).These seeds have the shortest potential shelf-life, remaining viable for 2 weeks to 3 mo.ecalcitrant seeds. Intermediate seeds are produced by perennials of tropical and subtropical origin (such as coffee, citrus, macadamia, and papaya) and by some tree nut species (for example, walnut, hickory, pecan, hazelnut, and pistachio).
