An integrated seed health approach evaluates how best to combine seed health management components: high-quality seed, disease resistance, and on-farm management.
The following link goes to an interactive Shiny interface designed by Y. Xing and S. Thomas-Sharma, for exploring the behavior of the seed degeneration model developed by Thomas-Sharma et al. (2017).
