- Association Germination onset follows a thermal-time relationship at 5–20°C.
- Intervention effect 15°C hydration was most effective for Tall Utah 52–70 when seeds were surface-dried.
- Intervention effect 15°C hydration was most effective for Green Giant Hybrid when seeds were surface-dried.
- Intervention effect Air-drying treated seeds at 20°C severely delayed germination.
- Intervention effect Air-drying treated seeds at 20°C decreased germination uniformity.
- Intervention effect Higher hydration temperatures reduced drying damage but gave little or no germination advantage.
- Intervention effect Slowing drying through controlled humidity avoided drying-back damage.
- Intervention effect Slower drying sometimes enhanced germination further.
