Effect of Storage at Four Locations in the West on Longevity of Forage Seeds1

A. L. Hafenrichter, Ronald B. Foster and John L. Schwendiman2

Synopsis: Seed of 21 grasses, 4 legumes, and 1 forb, many of which were new to agriculture, was stored for 14 years at 4 widely different locations in the West. Some seeds were processed and some were treated with a fungicide. Germination tests were made annually. The results show that longevity is a species x location interaction. Processing seed did not shorten longevity materially, but treatment with the fungicide had an adverse effect.

1 Work conducted in cooperation with the Washington Agricultural Experiment Stations. The authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Lowell A. Mullen, Paul E. Lemmon, R. H. Stark, Donald S. Douglas, and W. E. Chapin, formerly Managers of Plant Materials Centers, in conducting these studies.
