FACTORS AFFECTING THE GERMINATION AND ESTABLISHMENT OF MONOGERM SUGAR BEET


3.2.4     The effect of water soluble seed extracts on cress seed germination



The data presented in Table 6 are the mean values of the 0.5 and 0.25 dilution extracts, as the 0.1 and 0.01 dilution did not produce detectable inhibitory effects, and there was insufficient extract to replicate the undiluted extract test.  The beet extracts had little if any effect on final germinations, but a considerable effect on mean germination time.  The Lot 2 extract had the most inhibitory effect compared with the water Control and the extract of Lot 1 the least.  The Lot 5 extract was slightly less inhibitory than the Lot 2 extract.
