| Abstract/Contents: | "Priming or presoaking seed of common carpetgrass (Axonopus affinis Chase) and centipedegrass [Eremochloa ophiuroides Munro. (Kunz) increased germination percentage and decreased mean time of germination (MTG) at 20, 25, and 30^DDCC. The effect of presoaking and priming was dependent on grass species and temperature. The optimum seed germination temperature for both of these warm-season species was 30^DDCC. Maximum effect on common carpetgrass or centipedegrass seeds was achieved by priming in 2% KNO₃; higher concentrations did not improve germination percentages or MTG, and 4% was in some cases detrimental. Germination was higher and MTG lower at 20 and 30^DDCC than at 15^DDCC. Presoaking common carpetgrass and centipedegrass seeds was the most efficient seed enhancement treatment for germination at 30^DDCC." |
