| Abstract/Contents: | Details seed priming and pregermination at length, explaining physiological activity and providing guidelines for performing both. Indicates that primed seed may have advantages over pregerminated seed due to its dry surface and the ability to store it temporarily. Suggests that the best soil temperature range for germination is between 60 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and that turf covers can help hasten establishment. Adds that "you do need to monitor the conditions under the cover to ensure the environment does not become unfavorable for the grass." Briefly mentions a study conducted to evaluate several priming treatments. |
