Cover Crops and Mechanical Scarification in the Yield and Industrial Quality of Upland Rice

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Mechanical soil scarification and cover crops cultivation are promising tools to minimize surface soil layer compaction in no-tillage systems. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effects of mechanical soil scarification associated with

Effect of Mechanical and Chemical Scarification on Germination of Dodder (Cuscuta campestris Yunck.) Seed

World Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2015
Experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of seed treatment on germination of Cuscuta campestris. This may provide the possible ways to overcome the problem of dormancy in Cuscuta campestris. The experiments were conducted in the Laboratory of Crop Production and Horticulture, Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola, Adamawa State ...

Evaluation of thermal, chemical, and mechanical seed scarification methods for 4 Great Basin lupine species [PDF]

Native Plants Journal, 2016
Seeds of most Great Basin lupine ( Lupinus spp. [Fabaceae]) species are physically dormant and thus, difficult to establish in uniform stands in seed production fields. We designed this study to examine 5 seed scarification techniques, each with 11 levels of application (including a non-scarified control), to reduce the physical seed dormancy of ...

I. Acid treatment and mechanical scarification [PDF]

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, 1975
Abstract Only about 30% of the Centrosema pubescens (centro) seed examined germinated under favourable conditions of moisture and temperature. Germination percentage increased to more than 80% after seed treatment with concentrated sulphuric acid or by mechanical ...

Pre-germination treatments of Paricá (Schizolobium amazonicum) seeds

Bioscience Journal, 2020
Paricá seeds have dormancy and, even after mechanical scarification, these seeds show slow and uneven germination. Pre-germination treatments can be used to increase seed germination performance.

Emergence of `Genesis' Triploid Watermelon following Mechanical Scarification [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1999
Production of triploid watermelon [ Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nakai] transplants is hindered by poor, inconsistent emergence, and frequent seed coat adherence to cotyledons. Seed coat adherence leads to weakened and slow growing plants.

Germination potential and methods for overcoming seed dormancy for domesticated and wild annatto populations after two years of storage

Ciência Rural, 2021
: Annatto (Bixa orellana L.) is an arboreal species domesticated in Amazonia from its wild ancestor (B. orellana var. urucurana). Bixin extracted from its orthodox seeds is a natural dye widely used in the food industry.
