Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Priming increased the percent emergence of broccoli under cooler temperatures.
- Intervention effect Priming decreased the mean time of emergence of broccoli by about 15 hours.
- Intervention effect Primed broccoli seeds did not accelerate maturity in two out of three years.
- Intervention effect In the third year, the spread of seedling emergence times was less for primed broccoli seeds.
- Mechanism The authors interpret that reduced spread of emergence times reduced plant-to-plant competition in broccoli.
- Intervention effect Priming hastened maturity of broccoli in the third year.
- Mechanism The authors interpret that faster emergence of primed broccoli seeds increased stands by reducing exposure to stresses.
- Intervention effect Osmotic and matric seed priming of broccoli gave no difference in percentage or mean time of seedling emergence.
