Humidity effect on epiphytic microflora development and seed germination of spring bread wheat by O. F. Khamova, P. V. Popolzukhin, O. S. Dmitrenko

“…There was found out that the seed germination on 88% depended on the moisture content during storage and a number of fungi on their surface. On increasing the initial moisture content of seeds to 17%, the number of microorganisms on them increased significantly, and germination decreased after three years of storage in plastic containers to 0–1.9% in 28 months (2.3 years). …”
