Data underlying the publication: Effect of drying conditions on quality of primed cabbage (Brassica oleracea) seeds and ethanol degradation as promising quality parameter

This dataset contains data collected during seed drying experiments at Wageningen University &amp; Research and Bejo Zaden B.V. as part of Julia Veser's PhD Thesis project. The purpose of these experiments was to investigate the effect of drying conditions on seed quality of primed <em>Brassica oleracea</em> (cabbage) seeds. The drying conditions were varied systematically from 25 to 60 °C drying air temperature, 5 - 50% air relative humidity and 0.5 - 24 hr drying time. During drying the weight, thus moisture content, of seeds and the surface seed temperature were measured. After drying, seed quality was analysed by several parameters including germination quality, germination speed and the newly proposed ethanol index as well as germination quality and speed after a storage treatment.
