Abnormal seedlings in beans include seedlings without a terminal bud or growing point of the stem baldheads and seedlings with both primary leaves absent even though the terminal bud or growing point is present snakeheads. Such abnormal seedlings are not to be included in determining the percentage of germination.
Soak in water 2 hours before testing, using at least 250 cc. water per 100
seeds; wash in running water after soaking and blot surface dry. Sam ples producing darkened radicles should be retested in sand or soil or by washing in running water for 3 hours and testing on 0.3 inch thick Kimpak containing 85 cc. water per 9" x 9" square on top of moistened blot ters, keeping seed covered with slightly moist blotters.
