Other claims from this paper (5)
- Mechanism Physical dormancy from an impermeable seed coat severely constrains germination under ambient conditions.
- Observation Optimised hot water treatments produce consistently high germination percentages.
- Observation Mechanical scarification is an accessible and effective alternative for resource-limited nurseries.
- Observation Gibberellic acid treatments play a supplementary rather than primary role.
- Recommendation Standardised comparative trials with agreed germination metrics are needed before universal protocols are prescribed.
