International audienceIn fields, the timing of weed emergence flushes is mostly related to the timing and rate of seed germination, which depend on seed dormancy level, soil temperature and water potential conditions as well as soil tillage and crop ...

Hydro-Priming Effects on Seed Germination and Field Performance of Faba Bean in Spring Sowing
Seed priming has been used to advance germination and stand in several crops, but relevant research on faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is scarce. Laboratory and field trials were carried out for two years to study the effect of hydro-priming on faba bean ...

Spore germination and development of young mycelia in some Rhizopogon species [PDF]
Spore germination in Rhizopogon abietis, R. luteolus, R. roseolus and R. villosulus was induced in the presence of Rhodotorula glutinis and activated charcoal, in agar medium (N6:5). In one R.

Treatment of Solanum torvum seeds improves germination in a batch-dependent manner
The Solanum torvum species can grow in soils with a heavy load of nematodes and pathogenic fungi. It is currently much in demand in intensive agriculture as a rootstock of Solanaceae species, such as eggplant and tomato.

Seed dormancy and germination [PDF]
Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes are known to be involved in the induction of dormancy and in the switch from the

Smoke and heat accelerate and increase germination in fire‐prone temperate grassy ecosystems
Fire increases seedling recruitment by reducing competition for space and resources. As such, many species in fire‐prone ecosystems germinate in response to fire cues such as smoke and heat.
