The Effect of Selected Presowing Seed Treatments on Germination of Lehmann Lovegrass Seeds

Samples of Lehmann lovegrass seeds were treated with various presowing seed treatments, oven drying, mechanical scarification, moistening, and moistening plus oven drying. The pretreated seeds were then allowed to germinate with adequate moisture at 24 degrees C for 24 and 48 hours. Germination was significantly increased by mechanical scarification, oven drying, moistening plus oven drying, and certain moistening treatments of warm-vapor or cold-water imbibition.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
