Equations for predicting seed longevity in storage have been improved so that they now take into account variations within a species in initial seed quality, which is affected by genotype and prestorage environment, and so that they are more accurate over a wider range of storage environments. These improvements have been incorporated into a seed viability nomograph for barley (H. distichum L.) which may be used to predict percentage viability of any seed lot after any time in any storage environment within the range -20 to 90.degree. C and 5-25% moisture content. Applications of the improved equations to seed drying and to long-term seed storage for genetic conservation are discussed.
