AUDITED STANDARDS

Peer-reviewed operational procedures executed by certified field specialists.

FERMENTATION PROTOCOL

Dissolving germination-inhibiting gel sacs and eradicating seed-borne pathogens.

01. Squeeze mature tomato seeds and gelatinous pulp into clean glass mason jar.
02. Allow jar to ferment at 72°F for 3 to 4 days until white mold raft covers surface.
03. Add water and stir vigorously; viable heavy seeds sink to bottom. Pour off floating chaff.

BAGGING PROTOCOL

Preventing bumblebee cross-pollination on solitary heirloom varieties.

01. Identify unopened immature blossom clusters before petals reveal color.
02. Slip breathable 4x6-inch organza bag over flower cluster; pull drawstring tight.
03. Hand-pollinate open bloom with sterile paintbrush; re-tie bag until fruit sets.

STORAGE PROTOCOL

Extending heirloom embryo viability from 3 years to over 25 years.

01. Desiccate cleaned seed in sealed container with dry silica gel packets for 14 days.
02. Verify internal seed moisture content is below 8% using shatter shatter test.
03. Seal inside thick multi-layer Mylar foil bags; store at 0°F (-18°C) in chest freezer.
