Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Sulfuric acid increased germination of Tsunami seeds at seven days postharvest.
- Intervention effect Sulfuric acid did not increase germination in Cherry Wine × Tsunami.
- Intervention effect Dry room-temperature storage for 60 days reduced seed germination ability.
- Intervention effect Cold moist stratification maintained more than 75% germination ability.
- Recommendation The authors suggest cold moist stratification for 30 to 60 days may increase germination of recalcitrant hemp seed.
- Recommendation The authors suggest ten-minute sulfuric acid exposure may increase germination of recalcitrant hemp seed.
