It has been reported that specialists from the Voronezh branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "VNIIKR" have discovered that the germination rate in the selected seed samples is significantly below the minimum permissible value established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. More specifically, the value was underestimated by more than 20%.

Information about the results of the expertise has been transmitted to the Department of the Rosselkhoznadzor to take appropriate legal measures in response to this. As a result, the applicants were denied the issuance of the regulatory documentation.

Germination is an important indicator of seed quality. It is determined as a result of tests conducted in two stages, and the results are summed up.

The procedure involves checking the energy of germination several days after the start of germination, and then determining the amount of additionally germinated seeds a few days later. Subsequently, the results are summed up to determine the final germination rate. Rules for determining the energy of germination and germination are established for each type of agricultural crops, as specified in GOST 12038-84 "Seeds of agricultural crops. Methods for determination of germination".
