Abstract
The purpose of this work was to test the accuracy of the oven method, capacitance meter and water activity measurements to assess the water status of intact pelleted and film-coated seeds in comparision with noncoaated seeds. Seeds from one lettuce (Lactuca sativa) lot and one onion (Allium cepa) lot were pelleted by six commercial sources. A second lot of onion and one lot of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) were film coated by one compnay resulting in three different coating formulations...
