Germination of certified soybean seed as influenced by moisture content, length of storage and seasonal temperature fluctuation

The purposes of the study were as follows: 1) to ascertain whether or not soybean seed having moisture levels above the standard 14 per cent were being certified; and 2) to determine the influence of storage under conditions of seasonal temperature fluctuations on the viability of certified soybean seed having moisture levels of 14.5 per cent or above at time of final certification.
