A method of attaching an end seal ( 20 ) to a manufactured seed ( 22 ). The method includes the step of positioning a first manufactured seed on a surface ( 42 ). The first manufactured seed includes a seed coat ( 24 ) having an opening ( 12 ) and an embryo ( 30 ) disposed within the opening, the opening having a location relative to the surface. The method further includes prestressing an area ( 38 ) of a sheet ( 50 ) and positioning the sheet on the first manufactured seed to substantially center the area over the opening, such that the embryo is located below the area. The method also includes the step of attaching the sheet to the first manufactured seed to seal the opening. |
