DIGITAL ROENTGENOGRAPHY IS AN INNOVATIVE METHOD OF ASSESSING SEED QUALITY

Abstract

An experimental study, which begins with an evaluation of the quality of seeds by Digital roentgenography, will bring significant savings for the organization, increase the accuracy and reproducibility of research. The choice should be made in the assessment of seed quality. Using the Digital roentgenography, it is possible to determine the tomato seed germination by two approaches. The first one is a percent ratio between the linear seed’s dimension (RgL = 45,78 %), and the second one is a percent ratio between the section square seed’s dimension (RgS = 49,33 %). Both values have a 10% tolerance.
