Template:Lot germination test
More actions
One germination test of a seed lot, written inside a lot's germination_tests field
(Template:Seed lot) or an accession's lot_germination_tests field (Template:Accession), one
call per test. On its own the template shows nothing: Module:Seed lot reads the calls in the field and stores
each as a subobject naming its lot (Property:Is report on).
Give the counts wherever the report has them: the result is judged from the number of seeds tested and the seedlings counted. A percentage given without the counts is kept as reported and marked as percentage only (Property:Has percentage only); it cannot show that a lot passes. Empty means not known.
