Aarhus University, Department of Agroecology - Slagelse, Denmark
The overall aim of this workshop is to introduce optical technologies (like multispectral imaging, NIRS, electrophotography and X-ray) in seed evaluation. The participants learn about and practice the use of imaging technologies for seed evaluation.
Previous proficiency tests showed unexpected results between participants. This workshop will help participants to train on seed health testing methods for detecting fungi and harmonize notations.
The event will be held in collaboration with the Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA) and the Society of Commercial Seed Technologists (SCST).
This will be the first time that the three seed testing associations will be holding a joint Annual Meeting.
