FACTORS AFFECTING THE GERMINATION AND ESTABLISHMENT OF MONOGERM SUGAR BEET
3.1 Materials and Methods
3.1.1 Description of Seed Lots
The general objective of the experimental work was to compare the germination performance of five different lots of sugar beet seed under several different test conditions with various treatments, and relate the performance to features of the seed lots. The five seed lots used were as follows:-
Lot I, variety Monotri, harvested in 1977;
Lot 2, variety Monotri, harvested in 1975;
Lot 3, Bush Mono '"G", harvested in 1979;
Lot 4, Amono, harvested in 1979;
and Lot 5, Nomo, harvested in 1975.
Lots 1 2 and 5 had been lightly rubbed after harvesting but not further treated, while Lots 3 and 4 had received the complete commercial processing and pelleting procedure as described in Sections 2.2.6 and 2.2.7.
