Tephrosia vogelii is commonly known as the “fish bean”, “fish-poison bean”, or “vogel’s tephrosia”. [4] It is a small tree used by farmers in numerous countries in Africa to get rid of pests on livestock, control pests in cultivated fields as an organic pesticide, improves soil fertility, as a medicine for skin diseases and ...
There are five petals, green with a reddish base, measuring about 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long, stamens about 7 mm (0.28 in) long. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] In contrast to the tiny flowers, the fruit of this species is a very large, flattened, woody pod or capsule , measuring about 1–1.2 m (3 ft 3 in – 3 ft 11 in) long and 12 cm (4.7 in) wide.
Entada rheedii, commonly known as African dream herb or snuff box sea bean, [3] and as the cacoon vine in Jamaica, is a large woody liana or climber of the Mimosa clade Mimosoideae. The vine can grow as long as 120 m (390 ft). [4] Their seeds have a thick and durable seed coat which allows them to survive lengthy periods of immersion in seawater.
The Tetrazolium Chloride (TZ) test, often called the quick germination test, is a chemical test used to determine seed viability, and results are usually available within 24 to 48 hours The TZ test differs from a germination test in that the TZ test can give you an early and quick snapshot of seed viability but is not a replacement for the more comprehensive seed germination test.
For freshwater aquaria, gravel is the most common substrate. To prevent damage to fish, gravel should not be sharp. Aquarium gravel can be as coarse as pea-sized or as fine as 1–2 mm. [1] It is available in a number of colors, and may be naturally colored or dyed, and may have a polymer seal to ensure it does not affect water chemistry. [1]
For example, some methods involve keeping the spathes within large holding tanks where they eventually split open and release the (negatively buoyant) seeds, which are then collected from the tank bottom. [94] The seeds are then placed in a flume to determine seed quality based on settling velocity, after which they are scattered by hand from ...
Phaseolus vulgaris, the common bean, [3] is a herbaceous annual plant grown worldwide for its edible dry seeds or green, unripe pods. Its leaf is also occasionally used as a vegetable and the straw as fodder .
The soaking increases the water content in the seeds and brings them out of quiescence. After draining and then rinsing seeds at regular intervals, the seeds then germinate, or sprout. For home sprouting, the seeds are soaked (big seeds) or moistened (small), then left at room temperature (13 to 21 °C or 55 to 70 °F) in a sprouting vessel.
