How long does a Suitability Analysis for primed and pelleted lettuce seed take ?
For seed being analyzed for priming and pelleting ( Prep-Coat and Prep-Coat Special ) a determination can be made within seventy two hours, using a “priming indicator test”. If the seed is not deemed suitable for priming and pelleting the customer is immediately notified so contingent plans can be instituted. In some rare cases seed lots that do not pass the suitability analysis at this point can exhibit certain characteristics which determine if other analysis protocols designed for sensitive seed might be warranted. If those protocols are warranted an additional seventy two hours will be required.
