- Intervention effect Matriconditioning improved seedling emergence in growth chambers.
- Intervention effect Conditioning shortened carrot T10 by 2.6 to 2.8 days.
- Intervention effect Conditioning shortened carrot T50 by 2.1 to 3.0 days.
- Intervention effect Conditioning increased final emergence of one-year-old Long Imperator carrot seeds by 39%.
- Intervention effect Conditioning increased final emergence of four-year-old Nantes carrot seeds by 150%.
- Intervention effect Conditioning shortened tomato T10 by 0.9 day.
- Intervention effect Conditioning had no effect on tomato T50.
- Intervention effect Conditioning shortened pepper T10 and T50 by 1.5 days.
- Intervention effect Conditioning increased pepper emergence by 30%.
- Intervention effect Micro-Ccl E conditioning shortened snap bean T10 and T50 by 0.8 day.
- Intervention effect Micro-Ccl E conditioning adversely affected snap bean percentage emergence.
- Intervention effect Adding GA 3 during snap bean conditioning further shortened T10 by 1.2 days.
- Intervention effect Adding GA 3 during snap bean conditioning further shortened T50 by 1.6 days.
- Intervention effect Adding GA 3 restored snap bean emergence to the control level.
- Intervention effect Adding fungicides produced no additional emergence improvement for carrot, tomato and pepper and sometimes worsened emergence.
- Recommendation The authors considered conditioning in Micro-Ccl E, alone or with GA 3, a viable preplant option.
