Dark Clean Stevia Seeds

These seeds have been thoroughly cleaned from all impurities, including feathers and stems. While Clean stevia seeds seem to be significantly expensive than raw seeds, it is actually very cost effective in terms of viability, germination and emerging rate. Lets also consider the labour and equipment costs involved in cleaning. The ratio of raw stevia seeds to clean stevia seeds is 1:5. Every 5 kilos of raw stevia seeds make 1 kilo of clean viable seeds.

Germination and emerging rates are also much higher than raw seeds. If properly planted,1 kg of clean seeds could cover approximately 5-6 acres of land with stevia plantlets, but again it all depends on your experience with stevia seeds cultivation. There’s approximately 2.5 – 3 million seeds per Kilogram.

Raw Stevia Seeds:

These seeds come directly from the farm with feathery attachment still on. 1 gram is about 800 - 1000 seeds. Germination rate is 35 - 40%.

Seedling Emergence vs. Seeds Germination:

Seedling emergence is more important for growers than germination rates. Germination percentage is completely different than the actual number of healthy seedlings you will get by the time of transplanting.
