Pack and deliver the dried seeds according
to specifications of the seed company or contract agency.
If necessary, tomato seeds can be safely stored for at least
3-5 years. Place seeds in manila envelopes, cloth or mesh bags,
plastic containers, or foil envelopes. The best containers are
airtight, such as a sealed glass jar, metal can or foil envelope.
Label each container carefully. Note the names of the hybrid
and parents, the year, and any other information you feel is
valuable.
Store seeds in a cool, dry place. Small quantities can be kept
in an air-tight container inside a refrigerator. For larger quantities,
a special room with controlled humidity and temperature should
be used. The temperatures should not exceed 20°C and relative
humidity (RH) in the storage area should not exceed 30%. |
