Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Fruit maturity, fermentation, storage, and temperature significantly affected cucumber germination percentage and rate.
- Observation Some factor combinations yielded over 90% cucumber germination with fruit maturity of just 28 days.
- Intervention effect Greater cucumber seed maturity at harvest improved germination rate and tolerance of long fermentation.
- Intervention effect Short fermentation sometimes benefited cucumber seed germination.
- Intervention effect Longer fermentation was markedly harmful to cucumber seed germination under some conditions.
- Intervention effect Six months storage improved cucumber seed germination at 15° and 20°C.
- Intervention effect Six months storage had little effect on cucumber seed germination at 25°.
- Observation Three cucumber populations differed markedly in response to some seed handling factors.
