Germination and vigor of lentil seeds under osmotic stress [PDF]
Ciência Rural: Water deficit is a major factor that influences the seed germination process and; consequently, crop establishment. Insufficient water can reduce germination, delay seedling growth, and decrease crop yield, making methods that can simulate these ...

Acceleration in Germination Sensu stricto Plays a Central Role on Seedling Vigor in Post-Germination [PDF]
Plants, 2021 An obvious relationship between germination sensu stricto and seedling development during post-germination has been considered, but not explained concerning vigor. Taking this into account, we used measurements of water dynamics in germinating seeds and seedling development to clarify that relationship.

Germination and vigor of watermelon seeds treated with biostimulant
Revista Caatinga, 2023 ABSTRACT Direct sowing is the most used watermelon propagation method in Brazil. Therefore, the use of treated seeds is an alternative for improving uniformity of plant stands at planting. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the effects of seed treatments with biostimulant on the germination and vigor of watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.
