Scarification and Moisture Effects on Triploid Watermelon Seed Germination

Effect of Seed Scarification on in Vitro Seed Germination of Abrus Precatorius L

Abrus precatorius is the native plant of India and used in many ways in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine. This seeds of the species is dormant due to hard seed coat. So the aim of the study is to remove seed dormancy and enhance germination capacity within a short period. To overcome the problem of dormancy, seeds were scarified by seed scarifier, sand paper, hot water treatment, DMSO an...

The Effects of Feeding Watermelon Seed Meal and Full Fat Seed on Broiler Chicks Growth

Watermelon seed full-fat (WMSF) and watermelon seed meal (WMSM) samples were analyzed for proximate composition and then incorporated in broiler chicks diets at increasing levels up to 20%. Feeding increasing levels of WMSF to broiler chicks for up to 20% increased weight gain (P

NaOH Scarification and Stratification Improve Germination of Iris lactea var. chinensis Seed

Iris lactea seed is characterized mainly by physiological dormancy. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of NaOH treatment and stratification on Iris seed germination. In Experiment 1, seeds were treated with 14.38 M NaOH for 0 to 28 hours. In Experiment 2, NaOH treated and nontreated seeds were stratified under 7 °C and moistened condition for 0 to 40 days. As results, NaOH...
