Seedling emergence response to early sowings in unprimed and osmoprimed seeds of fiber sorghums for energy biomass under semi-arid climate

Fiber sorghum is a promising industrial crop for lignocellulosic biomass to be used for energy purposes. Limits to the adoption of early sowings (March-April) for this species are found in its thermal requirements for seed germination (>10°C). Seed osmopriming has been found to decrease the impac...
