The objective of this study was to develop a soaking and drying
procedure to stimulate faster germination of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa
pratensis L.) seed.
The seeds were soaked in cheesecloth bags in nine chemical
solutions. The effects of temperature and time of soaking and of
aeration of the solution were...
The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of
temperature, nutrients, growth regulators, and culm detachment
during seed development on ryegrass seed dormancy and weight.
The effects of storage temperature on seed dormancy were also
studied.
Seed dormancy of annual (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and
perennial (Lolium perenne L.)...
Tests were carried on in growth chambers and in the field to
determine if the harvest of daylength-sensitive long-day cereals
grown during the winter in Arizona could be hastened 30 days by the
use of night interruption.
Two durum lines which were near-isogenic for sensitivity to
daylength were used throughout...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of seed
protein content on plant growth of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. )
and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ). The effects of nitrogen application
on chemical and morphological characteristics of the seed
were also studied.
Seeds of 'Casbon' winter barley...
The objective of this study was to develop a soaking and drying
procedure to stimulate the germination and seedling emergence of
orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa
pratensis L.) seed. Some of the physiological changes associated
with the soaking and drying treatments were also studied.
The seed was...
High protein wheat seeds frequently perform better than low
protein seeds of the same variety. Protein content of seeds can be
increased by management practices, the most important of which is
rate and timing of N applications. The purpose of this study was to
determine the chemical, biochemical and physiological...
The objective of this study was to investigate ryegrass seedling characteristics that, by themselves, or combined with presently known characters, could improve varietal identification tests. Thirteen characters were studied on 30 varieties of Lolium multiflorum Lam., L. perenne L., L. rigidum Gaud, and L. hybridum Hausskn., including leaf size and...
