Organic Corn Seed Coat Treatments

Introduction Organic seed treatments have been limited in organic production, until recently. Agricoat Natural IITM, is reported to be “an organic liquid biological seed treatment applied as a seed film coating and formulated with beneficial microbes, macro and micro nutrients, amino acids, organic acids, enzymes, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.” Natural IITM also is applied to “promote root ...

Oyxgen and temperature effects on soybean seed coat respiration rates.

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) seed coat respiration rates in response to changing O(2) concentration and temperature were examined experimentally and with a mathematical analysis. The experimental observations showed seed coat respiration rates were sensitive to O(2) concentration below 0.25 micromole O(2) cm(-3). There was a steady decline in respiration rates from the saturating O(2) concen...

The Role of the Seed Coat in Avocado Fruit Development (growth and Maturation)*

The development of avocado fruit (Fuerte in particular) was observed over a number of years as part of a research project investigating the role played by endogenous plant growth regulators in the development of the fruit. Rates of growth of the various fruit tissues were measured and changes in auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin and inhibitor levels were established. Some results of this study have...
