Purity and Germination Testing: Ensuring Quality and Reliability at Wildflower Turf Ltd
At Wildflower Turf Ltd, we’re committed to providing the highest quality wildflower products. To ensure this, we’ve invested in state-of-the-art purity and germination testing processes.
PURITY TESTING
Purity testing involves meticulously examining a sample of seed to determine the percentage of target species present. This is crucial to eliminate contaminants like plant materials and seeds from other species. We use specialised equipment, including sieves and gravity separators, to separate the desired seeds from impurities. Our goal is to achieve a purity level of 98% or higher for all our wildflower crops.
GERMINATION TESTING
Germination testing is equally important. It involves placing a sample of seed in a controlled environment to assess its viability. We use a growth chamber that stimulates optional conditions for germination, taking into account factors like temperature and light requirement. By understanding the unique needs of each wildflower species, we can ensure that our seed will germinate successfully.
WHY IS TESTING IMPORTANT
Purity and germination testing are essential for several reasons:
- Quality Assurance: They guarantee that our customers receive a product that is free from contaminants and will germinate effectively.
- Consistency: By regularly testing our seed, we can maintain consistent quality standards over time.
- Species Preservation: Purity testing helps prevent the spread of unwanted species, protecting biodiversity.
At Wildflower Turf, whether it’s Wildflower Turf®, Meadowscape Pro™, or our MeadowSow™ seed, we’re dedicated to providing exceptional wildflower products. Our rigorous testing processes ensure that our products meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
