Iowa State University's seed conditioning and quality evaluation workshops


Ames, Iowa, USA
April 15, 2015

Iowa State University is once again offering a series of workshops on seed conditioning and quality testing procedures this summer.  The workshop dates are rapidly approaching, so we are sending this brief reminder in the event either you or a co-worker might be interested in the program.  The 2015 workshop schedule is listed below and on the registration website listed below.  These are small group sessions that feature a mix of classroom and “hands on” equipment operation in our pilot plant at the ISU Seed Science Center.

            Food Grade Bean Conditioning...................... May 11-14
            Color Sorting – Satake (ScanMaster II).................... June 1-2
            Color Sorting – Satake (Evolution)........................... June 3-4

            Seed Corn Conditioning........................................ June 15-18
            Seed Treatment.................................................... June 24-25
            Soybean & Small Grain Seed Conditioning............... July 6-9

            Specialty Seed Conditioning………………………………. July 14-16

There are several program revisions for 2015.  The food grade bean program is being offered again this year and has been extended to four days to accommodate expanded program content.  The past Satake programs have been duplicate sessions intended to help minimize group size but the second session will focus primarily on their new Evolution machines.

Routine workshop registration is handled by our staff in Conference Planning and Management.  Additional details, including a PDF version of the workshop brochure and on-line registration can be found on the ISU Extension web site at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/registration/events/conferences/seedscience/.  Routine registration questions may be directed to Extension using the following contact information:
