Abstract
Three zoysiagrass seeds differing in quality were subjected to aerated soaking treatments including seven periods ( 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours ) in deionized water at 25℃. After 48 hours air-drying at room temperature, to determine the effects of soaking treatments, all these treated and untreated (taken as control) seeds were exposed to optimal (20~35℃) and sub-optimal germination temperatures (15~30℃), respectively. The germination results showed that soaking significantly improved germination speed and synchrony. For the seed of low quality, soaking brought them higher germination percentage besides the enhancement on germination speed and synchrony. Better results on the resistance to sub-optimal germination temperatures were also derived from soaking for zoysiagrass seeds. The best soaking duration varied with seed quality.
