Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Less mature B. oleracea seeds were more susceptible to hot water treatments.
- Association Less mature D. carota seeds were more susceptible to hot water treatments.
- Association Less mature B. oleracea seeds were more susceptible to the aerated steam treatment.
- Association Seed maturity did not influence sensitivity to the applied electron seed treatments.
- Association Less mature seeds were observed to be more frequently infected by seed-borne pathogens.
- Recommendation The authors advise harvesting seeds as mature as possible and removing less mature seeds during seed processing.
