ALLELOPATHIC POTENTIAL OF AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF LEAF AND ROOT SESAME ON SICKLEPOD AND BRACHIARIA SEEDS
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia de Biossistemas, 2021 Sicklepod is an important weed in Brazil pastures, but control measures are not yet effective. Thus, allelopathy can be an alternative, due to its ecological importance and for being able to provide new structures sources for agrochemicals production ...

Threshing Cylinder Speed Affects Germination of Amaranths cruentus L. Seeds [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 The percentage of normal grain amaranth seedlings decreased and that of abnormal seedlings increased as threshing cylinder speed increased from 8.1 to 30.7 m·s-1. At the highest threshing speed, seed deterioration (loss of germination and increase in the percentage of abnormal seedlings) was exacerbated by increasing seed storage from 7 to 47 months ...

Differential Effects of Increasing Salinity on Germination and Seedling Growth of Native and Exotic Invasive Cordgrasses [PDF]
, 2019 Soil salinity is a key environmental factor influencing germination and seedling establishment in salt marshes. Global warming and sea level rise are changing estuarine salinity, and may modify the colonization ability of halophytes.

Cold Radiofrequency Plasma Treatment Modifies Wettability and Germination Speed of Plant Seeds [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2012 We report the possibility to modify the wetting properties of the surfaces of a diversity of seeds including: lentils (Lens culinaris), beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and wheat (Triticum, species C9) by cold radiofrequency air plasma treatment. Air plasma treatment leads to the dramatic decrease in the apparent contact angle.
