It is intended to assist the practising seed analyst by collecting as many illustrations and descriptions as possible to give guidance in everyday laboratory flower seed testing of purity, germination and viability. The handbook also provides assistance in training new analysts for flower seed testing in accordance with the international principles.

A new publication from the ISTA Germination Committee:
ISTA Handbook on Seed Evaluation,
3rd Edition, 2006
By the ISTA Germination Committee, Editor R. Don
This handbook is a most valuable guide for seed analysts the world over. Although the International Rules for Seed Testing define normal and abnormal seedlings in considerable detail, the additional help provided by this handbook, with its detailed instructions and many illustrations, is vital if the principles of seedling evaluation are to be applied uniformly. It includes many tropical, subtropical, flower and tree species.
The Edition 2006 includes the Amendments to the ISTA Handbook on Seedling Evaluation.
