“…Low‐quality sprout (LQS) % and sprout yield ranged from 35.7% to 39.7% and 3.05 to 4.07 g/100 g seeds, respectively (Table ). Similar results were found in a previous sprout trait study with HQS% and AQS% that ranged from 33.3% to 62.7% and 28 to 48.2%, respectively (Escamilla et al, ). Sprouts in this study had a lower sprout yield and higher LQS% than those previously reported by Escamilla et al (), where they ranged from 5.24 to 7.01 g/100 g seeds and 7.7 to 29.7%, respectively.…”

“…Seed treatments (ST) had a significant effect on sprout quality traits and yield, but not for hypocotyl length and thickness. Sprout quality traits and hypocotyl length were significantly different across composite seed (CS) samples, because sprout traits are highly determined by the environments where seeds are grown (Escamilla et al, ). ST and CS interaction affected significantly sprout quality (Table ), likely associated with the specific fungal species found on each composite seed sample.…”

“…Before sprouting, seeds were treated with 2% calcium hypochlorite for 10 min, 5% acetic acid for 2 min, hot water (60℃) for 2 min, and sterile water for 1 min (control) as described previously; each treatment was repeated three times for one seed sample. Sprouting conditions and sprout trait evaluation were performed as described by Escamilla, Rosso, Strawn, and Zhang (). Sprout traits evaluated include percentage of high‐, average‐, and low‐quality sprouts, hypocotyl length and thickness, and sprout yield.…”

Sprouts can be a vehicle for the transmission of several pathogens capable of causing human illness, and the potential source of contamination is seed used for sprouting. The limited information about seed‐borne pathogens as well as their incidence on soybean seeds for soybean sprout industry led the objectives of this study that were to identify seed‐borne pathogens on commercial sprout soybean seeds and to evaluate different decontamination treatments on disinfection effectiveness and sprout quality. Seeds of “MFS‐561,” a sprout soybean cultivar, from three production regions were used in this study. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS1 and ITS2) DNA sequences of the isolated fungi from MFS‐561 seeds were used for species identification. Seven disinfection treatments were evaluated on their effectiveness on reducing fungal incidence and impact on sprout characteristics. Out of 55 fungal isolates obtained from the soybean seeds, seven species and six genera were identified. The most frequent genera across regions were Alternaria, Diaphorte, and Fusarium. The treatment of soaking seeds in 2% calcium hypochlorite for 10 min and 5% acetic acid for 2 min before sprouting were promising seed disinfection treatments as they significantly reduced fungi incidence without any negative effects on sprout quality.
