Welcome to Hydroponics Daily with Dr. Russell Sharp, where today’s episode delves into the critical differences between seed vigour and seed viability. These terms might sound similar, but they measure distinct seed characteristics essential for optimal growth in soilless cultivation systems.

Dr. Sharp, developer of numerous hydroponic innovations, explains how viability reflects whether a seed is alive and capable of germination, while vigour addresses the seed’s performance under various growth conditions. Tune in to learn how these factors impact plants from germination to harvest, particularly in automated systems where rapid growth is vital.

Discover practical insights into storage methods, testing techniques for seed quality, and expert tips for boosting your seed's performance, ensuring a robust yield in your hydroponic garden.
