Compost is commonly used for the growth of plants and the remediation of environmental pollution. It is important to evaluate the quality of compost and seed germination test is a powerful tool to examine the toxicity of compost, which is the most important aspect of the quality. Now the test is widely adopted, but the main problem is that the test results vary with different methods and seed species, which limits the development and application of it. The standardization of methods and the modelization of seeds can contribute to solving the problem. Additionally, according to the probabilistic theory of seed germination, the error caused by the analysis and judgment methods of the test results can be reduced. Here, we reviewed the roles, problems and prospects of the seed germination test in the studies of compost.
堆肥通常用于植物生长和环境污染修复。评估堆肥质量非常重要，而种子发芽试验是检验堆肥毒性的有力工具，这也是堆肥质量最重要的方面。目前该试验已被广泛采用，但主要问题是不同方法和种子种类的试验结果存在差异，这限制了其发展和应用。方法的标准化和种子的模型化有助于解决这一问题。此外，根据种子发芽的概率理论，可以减少试验结果分析和判断方法引起的误差。在这里，我们综述了种子发芽试验在堆肥研究中的作用、存在的问题及前景。
