地下贮藏一般多用于贮藏粮食。然而按其贮藏性能来说,用于贮藏种子,是完全可行的。而且已有贮藏数年还保持高度发芽力的报道,如河南省地下贮存十年的小麦种子,发芽率为97.3%;阿根廷地下贮存小麦、玉米经六年半发芽率仅下降5%。据称如建造得当,可以长时期不致丧失种子生活力。兹仅就有关粮食地下贮藏的资料,作一综合叙述,以供研究种子地下贮藏者的参考。 Underground storage is generally used to store food. However, in terms of their storage properties, it is perfectly feasible to store the seeds. In addition, there have been reports of high germination power during several years of storage. For example, the germination rate of wheat seeds stored underground for 10 years in Henan Province was 97.3%. The underground germination rate of wheat and maize stored in Argentina only decreased by 5% after six and a half years. Allegedly well-constructed, can not lose seed vitality for a long time. A comprehensive account of the information on the underground storage of foodstuffs is provided for the purpose of providing a reference for those who study the underground storage of seeds.
