A Method for Improving the Germinability of Seeds
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996The germination rate of crop seeds influences the final yield of crops planted by a farmer, yet currently there is no effective method for ensuring a high seed germination rate. In particular, seeds that have been stored for any length of time tend to show lower germination rates over time.A researcher at Salisbury State University, in...
