This study investigates the seasonal variation of germination ability of buried seeds of Monochoria vaginalis (Burm.f.) Presl var. plantaginea Solms. The ®eld-collected seeds were buried in a ̄ooded or an upland ®eld and then exhumed monthly. The exhumed seeds were germinated under four temperature regimes. The seeds exhumed from the ̄ooded soil were dormant at the beginning of burial and proceed...

Seed dormancy is a genetically inherited trait whose intensity is modified by the environment during seed development and maturation. In order to study the effect of harvest time on the seed quality and optimum time of sowing to obtain good quality seeds, freshly threshed seeds of ten diverse rice genotypes harvested from six environments were evaluated for seed dormancy and seedling vigour ind...
