- Observation Sorghum cultivars differed significantly in seed vigor.
- Observation Akdarı produced more vigorous seeds than other cultivars.
- Association Accelerated ageing correlated positively with laboratory emergence.
- Association Electrical conductivity correlated negatively with germination percentage.
- Method / resource Electrical conductivity was suitable for assessing germination potential.
- Method / resource Accelerated ageing was suitable for assessing emergence potential.
- Intervention effect Increasing NaCl inhibited sorghum germination and seedling growth.
- Intervention effect Increasing PEG inhibited sorghum germination and seedling growth.
- Intervention effect Germination was higher in NaCl than PEG at equal water potential.
- Intervention effect Mean germination time was lower in NaCl than PEG.
- Observation Aldarı performed better than other cultivars in salt, drought and survival tests.
- Association The authors concluded seed vigor is not a reliable indicator of stress germination performance.
