Tomato Mosaic is ToMV, not TMV

As I've said, I heat treat my seeds almost without exception. It is my personal 'phytosanitary' standard. I am not recommending pro or con, just discussing heat treatment as a subject.

My only opinion on what is recommended for other gardeners is ... I would not lump other gardeners all in the same group and say what's good for one is good for all.
oh my mistake ..I was thinking hot water bath treatment .....

Where do you get the parameters / techniques/ tables for dry heat method ?...

this is indeed a different ball of wax !

As many sources of seed can travel quite a long geographical way, they may have diseases that are not " the usual " for the new grow area.

Some how even ToMV could be hidden in seeds to an unsuspecting grower???
