Impact of fruit orientation and pelleting material on water uptake and germination performance in artificial substrate for sugar beet.

Impact of fruit orientation and pelleting material on water uptake and germination performance in artificial substrate for sugar beet.

Water uptake into seeds is a fundamental prerequisite of germination and commonly influenced by commercial seed enhancement technologies. The effect of fruit orientation and contrasting pelleting materials on germination and biological performance of sugar beet was assessed. The results indicated th...
