A method of assessing the viability of plant material, such as a seedling. The method includes maintaining the plant material in isolation in a substantially gas tight enclosure to trap gases evolved from the plant material. A sample of the trapped gases is removed and the concentration of at least one volatile gas in the sample is measured by contacting the sample with a colorimetric reagent that changes colour on contact with the volatile gas. The viability of the plant material is assessed on the basis of the colour change of the colorimetric reagent. An apparatus is also disclosed which permits simple field evaluations to be conducted according to the method.
