In order to teach old seeds new tricks, it would be better to conform to their viability calendar, the cumulative-dissipative cycle, thanks to which they maintain their ability to germinate over time.

For instance, if you do not conform to the seed viability calendar, it is possible that, during a long cumulative period, some kinds of seeds, prone to go easily under the viability threshold, and to put themselves in stand by, until the beginning of the dissipative phase, are wrongly found unable to germinate.

Instead, by conforming to their timing, rather than to ours – say, Monday to Thursday - one may increase their germinal capacity, and eventually the plant productivity. Above all if the seeds are old.
