Thus, in the absence of dormancy, delayed and slower rates of germination are evidence of reduced seed vigour and quality.
It was full of a mysterious vigour, new forms, new possibilities.
Despite optimization of seed water concentration and storage temperature, these approaches to nonorthodox seed storage do not facilitate long-term maintenance of vigour and viability.
After priming, seeds can also be redried and stored for some time, conserving the acquired high vigour.
When the finger millet was dry, the straw was cut, removed and applied as a mulch to treatment 4 (high vigour).
Seedlings should not be compared with clones when considering hybrid vigour.
Sires of different breed compositions are mated rotationally in order in maximize heterozygosity and thus hybrid vigour in the progeny.
This may lead to various injuries, the most visible being the decrease in seed vigour.
