Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how different storage conditions (time, temperature, and humidity) affect the quality of two pea seed varieties (Gloriosa and Kelvedon Wonder), which are important for leguminous crops due to their rapid loss of viability.
- Pea seeds were stored under various conditions, with the best outcomes in terms of germination and growth observed in seeds stored for 8 months at 4°C and 8% humidity.
- Results indicated that increased storage time negatively impacted germination rates, while temperature and humidity significantly influenced certain chemical traits, although most factors did not have substantial combined effects on seed quality.

Article Synopsis
- Rhubarb cultivation is growing due to its early market yields and high levels of beneficial polyphenols and antioxidants.
- A study in 2017 assessed the rhubarb cultivar Victoria over five years, comparing chemical, organic, biological, and no fertilizer treatments across 10 harvests.
- Results showed chemical fertilization produced the highest yield, while organic fertilization resulted in greater polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity.
