Summary

This training material is part of a self-paced e-learning module given by a seed physiologist at Wageningen University and Research and the International Seed Academy.
It addresses seed maturation processes and seed harvest.
Harvesting is a key moment in seed production, especially for seed quality. If seeds aren’t harvested at the right time, followed by adequate drying, they may lose some of their vigour and storage potential.
The entire module, with detailed guidance, link to the auto-corrected online quiz and additional references can be taken on the following website: https://itab.bio/en/elearningseedproduction/Module12
