Germination capacity

Carbineau and C6me (1980/81) Abrupt changes in germination capacity of seeds from tropical member of Rubiaceae family 15,32... 

Seed rate may vary according to the rye cultivar and vegetation year (germination capacity, thousand seed mass), however, assuring 4.5 to 5 millions germs per hectare (10000 m ) is essential. 

FIGURE 1 Comparison of averages (totally for all crops, %) of germinated capacity, energies of germination of seed for all crops and winter-hardness for winter wheat and winter barley at the different methods of treatment of ears of winter crops and panicles of kinds millet by para-aminobenzoic acid in the variants of experiments from 1 to 5 (see Table 1) by comparison to control of I (without treatment, in table 1 - a zero variant). Numbers on axis of ordinates are percent... 

Proposed method of treatment of seeds by PABA influences positively seed germination capacity and energy of germination as well as winter hardiness of plants. 

Investment, Costs, and Prices for Barley and Malt. Estimated malthouse investment (1993) and costs for a new malthouse with annual capacity of 120,000 t are shown in Table 2. This malthouse is equipped with twelve 1,700-bushel steep tanks, eight 10,000-bushel germination compartments, and two double-deck kilns. The kilns are equipped with standard heat recovery units and indirect heat. 

No adverse effects at 500 mg B/kg diet for 60 days. At 1000 and 2000 mg B/kg, adverse effects measured on male reproductive capacity, including germinal aplasia and infertility effects persisted for at least 8 months following B exposure at highest dose (23)... 

The main function of D-galactomannans in seeds is as reserve polysaccharides that are depleted during germination. The a-D-galactosyl stubs of the polysaccharide provide hydrophilic character to the molecule, thus endowing it with a water-retaining capacity this facilitates germination of the seed.
