TEST on wheat seeds.

Three lots of wheat seeds, of the same kind, distributed by the same firm; lot A and lot C were sown on adjacent rows; all of them were sown in soils having the same features.

Lot A has been sown on October 24th, 2004; as expected, the germination processes began the following day, which was the day just before one “point a”, the last day of a hard seed period, the worst day of the whole global cycle for a seed to begin its germination.

Lot B has been sown on October 25th, 2004; as expected, its germination began the following day, the day of one “point a”.

Lot C has been sown on October 25th, 2004; as expected, the germination processes began the following day, the day of one “point a”. The difference with lot B was an important one: beforehand, it was kept inside an incubator at 35°C for two days.

At mid january 2005.

At mid january 2005, after three months of drought, the differences of the three lots were noteworthy, as one can see from the photo nr.1.

	Lot A (left); lot B (center); lot C (right).
	At mid june 2005.
	At mid june 2005, very near to the completion of the test, another photo of specimen was taken.

	Lot A (left); lot B (center); lot C (right).
	The difference in output between lot A and lot B was at least 15 per cent; that between A and C, over 30 per cent.
