Salinity effects on seed germination and vegetative growth of greens-type poa annua relative to other cool-season turfgrass species
Seed germination and vegetative growth studies were conducted to determine relative salinity tolerance of greens-type Poa annua L. compared with other cool-season turfgrass species. Effects of increasing salinity stress on final germination percentage (FGP), germination rate (GR), clipping yield dry weight (CYD), verdure dry weight (VD), root dry weight (RD), and the longest root length (LRL) ...

PROPAGATION OF CUTTINGS USING EH-POWERGROUND ELECTRIC HEATING MATS
PROPAGATION OF CUTTINGS USING EH-POWERGROUND ELECTRIC HEATING MATS Electric heating mats are used to increase the rooting and germination rate of cuttings. They are manufactured specifically for this purpose and made in sizes to suit new or existing growing beds. The purpose of using heat specifically in the root zone of cuttings is to induce dormancy in the upper vegetative part and to ...

Toxic effects of wastewater from various phases of monosodium glutamate production on seed germination and root elongation of crops
To make a comprehensive assessment on monosodium glutamate (MSG) wastewater pollution, a pollution exposure experiment was carried out on the seed germination and root elongation of wheat, Chinese cabbage and tomato by using the wastewater discharged from different processing phases of MSG production. The results showed that there were significantly positive linear relationships between the ...
