Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Mild scarification with sodium hypochlorite before stratification promoted more uniform germination of hybrid tea rose seeds.
- Intervention effect Mild scarification with sodium hypochlorite before stratification enhanced the percentage of germination from 49.2% to 65.9%.
- Intervention effect Epiphytic bacteria added to the stratification sand enhanced the percentage of germinated seeds but had no effect on uniformity of germination.
- Intervention effect Remedier (a Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma viridae formulation) added to the stratification sand enhanced the percentage of germinated seeds but had no effect on uniformity of germination.
- Intervention effect Addition of a compost activator to the stratification sand did not improve seed germination.
- Intervention effect Immersion of stratified seeds in 1 g/l GA3 highly enhanced the percentage of seed germination to 77.6%, versus 64.8% after immersion in water.
- Intervention effect Immersion of stratified seeds in 1 g/l GA3 highly enhanced mean germination time to 26.0 days, versus 32.8 days after immersion in water.
- Intervention effect Immersion of stratified seeds in 1 g/l GA3 highly enhanced uniformity of germination (2.5%), versus 7.9% after immersion in water.
- Recommendation The authors propose a combination of treatments as a reliable optimisation of seed germination protocols for hybrid tea roses.
