Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Final germination percentage of Kalanchoe delagoensis seeds ranged from 1.8% to 49.4% among treatments.
- Association Final germination percentage of Kalanchoe delagoensis seeds decreased with seed age.
- Observation Mean germination time of Kalanchoe delagoensis seeds ranged from 4.5 to 10.9 days among treatments.
- Intervention effect The 16/25 C alternating temperature had no effect on germinability of Kalanchoe delagoensis seeds.
- Observation Kalanchoe delagoensis seeds germinate rapidly.
- Observation Seed viability of Kalanchoe delagoensis decreases rapidly within the first year after the reproductive season.
- Observation Kalanchoe delagoensis would form only a transient seed bank.
- Recommendation Avoiding inflorescence maturation and covering or burying seeds could give adequate control of invasive Kalanchoe delagoensis populations.
