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.
Proper storage is essential to maximizing the germination potential. of all dormant Seeds, Beans and Grains. Basic storage is Cool, Dry and Dark. 55-70Â° (f) with humidity of 70% or less will (based on our experience) result in shelf life as stated in this chart, though lower humidity is always desirable.Seed life can be maximized by Freezing-which will increase shelf life 4-5 times or. Refrigerating-which will at least double it.asic storage is Cool, Dry and Dark. 55-70Â° (f) with humidity of 70% or less will (based on our experience) result in shelf life as stated in this chart, though lower humidity is always desirable.
