Seed development and germination of monogerm sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L.) as affected by maturity

Creator:

TeKrony, Dennis M.

Abstract:

Maturation rates of monogerm sugar beet seed grown in Western Oregon were measured quantitatively to determine attainment of maximum seed development and germination. Seed was collected at various intervals after anthesis from two hybrid varieties representing the extremes in resistance (hard bolting) and susceptibility (easy bolting) to seedstalk development. The...
