What you need to know about Stevia Seeds
Stevia seeds are unlike any other herb seeds, they are very tiny small and tricky to germinate. You should always start with small amount in a small pot of soil and keep under florescent light for at least 10 - 12 days until sprouting.

Dark Clean Stevia Seeds:
These seeds are expertly cleaned to eliminate all impurities, including feathers and stems.
While clean stevia seeds may seem pricier raw seeds, they deliver exceptional cost-effectiveness in terms of viability, germination, and emergence rates. It's also important to account for the labor and equipment costs associated with the cleaning process.
The ratio of raw to clean stevia seeds is 1:5, meaning that 5 kilograms of raw seeds produce 1 kilogram of clean, viable seeds. With proper planting, 1 kilogram of clean seeds can effectively cover approximately 5-6 acres of with thriving stevia plantlets, depending on your cultivation experience.
Each kilogram contains around 2.5 to million seeds.

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.
Research Studies on Ever Stevia Seeds:
NOTE: Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. Multiplication of plants depends on proper implementation of package of practices, proper land preparation, weed & pest management, moisture in the soil, careful harvest etc. Need a consultant? ask for our stevia technical consultation services.
