Research Results
In order to promote the use of compost, we developed a "germination index kit" to determine the degree of maturity by soaking Comasina seeds in a transparent holder and measuring the stem length and the number of sprouts, etc. As a result, it has become possible to judge the degree of ripeness simply, quickly and accurately.
