Biennial plants like cabbage, sugar beet, celery and carrots need chilling to develop second-year flowering buds. Excessive chilling in the early stages of a sugar beet seedling, on the contrary, may trigger undesired growth of a flowering stem in its first year. This phenomenon has been offset by breeding sugar beet cultivars with a higher ...

It is a measure of germination time course and is usually expressed as a percentage, e.g., an 85% germination rate indicates that about 85 out of 100 seeds will probably germinate under proper conditions over the germination period given. Seed germination rate is determined by the seed genetic composition, morphological features and ...
Last year, my four main beds looked like this: Bed 1: Potatoes. Bed 2: Kale & Collards (the rest of my brassicas were in one of the miscellaneous beds). Bed 3: Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant. Bed 4 ...
In the history of agriculture, farmers observed a traditional distinction between "winter cereals", whose seeds require chilling (to trigger their subsequent emergence and growth), and "spring cereals", whose seeds can be sown in spring, and germinate, and then flower soon thereafter. Scientists in the early 19th century had discussed how some ...

Seeds of many trees, shrubs and perennials require these conditions before germination will ensue. [3] In the wild, seed dormancy is usually overcome by the seed spending time in the ground through a winter period and having its hard seed coat softened by frost and weathering action. By doing so the seed is undergoing a natural form of "cold ...
