I’ve not heard of anything be sprayed on but do know that seeds have been made into sterile seeds (meaning the seeds from a plant or first-generation seeds can be made sterile via GMO processes and some seeds sold now, produce the vegetable or fruit with no seeds in them. I’ve been saving seeds for over 35 yrs. and am so glad we have a good working knowledge of how to do so and a good stockpile of OP seeds. I did some informal testing on germination rates of some of our old seeds, some as old as 10 yrs. old up to 5 yrs. old and the conclusion was the oldest seeds had an 82% germination, except for the parsnip seeds, they had 5% or less. All of our starts were grown from 10 yr. old, 7, 6 and 5 yr. old seeds and our garden is thriving, PTL! Maybe we could start up a seed exchange by growing zones?
