Other claims from this paper (3)
- Method / resource Mean germination time does not show elapsed time to a specific germination percentage.
- Method / resource Mean germination time is an index of germination speed rather than the real time to mean germination.
- Method / resource Mean germination time is unsuitable for ANOVA and other treatment-comparison tests.
