Tomato: 122 degrees F. for 25 min.

I think I will try this. There is a risk that Verticillium dahliae can enter the seed (as well as viruses, etc).

I have had problems with Verticillium.

Grow big in 2026.

!!!

Ps They don't think pumpkin seeds will benefit much and/or the heat may damage the seed.
