In order to forecast germination potential and categorize seeds as viable, partially viable, or non-viable, the system uses trained machine learning models to process physical and biochemical markers without causing any harm to the seeds. Farmers, seed distributors, inspectors, and researchers can guarantee seed quality, crop dependability, and enhanced food security thanks to the invention's instantaneous, field-ready results via an easy-to-use interface."
