Beware Of Sulphur Bleached Oats For Seed Use
A USDA notice warns farmers to avoid oats bleached with sulphur as it dramatically reduces germination. The report notes tests showing an 88 percent drop in viability from 97.5 percent to 9.5 percent after bleaching, and urges contracts guaranteeing nonbleached seed and careful verification of seed quality before planting. It explains cold and warm bleaching methods and highlights risks when oats purchased for feed are used for seed.
