To study the seed inspection procedures of Knoxia roxburghii,and provide the basis for the formulation of seed quality standards of K.roxburghii.With reference to the method of crop seed in-spection procedures,the conventional indicators such as seed sampling,purity analysis,seed authen-ticity,1 000-grain weight,water content,germination rate,and viability were compared and analyzed to find a suitable test method for K.roxburghii seeds.The results showed that the purity analysis sample of K.roxburghii seeds was not less than 0.3 g,the seed authenticity was identified by mor-phological observation and identification method,and the seed weight was determined by thousand seed weight method.The seed moisture content was determined by baking at 131℃for 6 h,and the seed viability was determined by staining with TTC solution at a concentration of 0.1%at 25℃or TTC concentration of 0.5%at 20-25℃for 16 h.The seed germination rate was measured at 25°C(12h light/12h dark)after seed disinfection,and the germination bed was sand.
