Abstract
Evaluates osmotic priming and chilling stratification on the germination of Echinacea purpurea seeds. Both treatments generally increased early germination and total germination, although results varied by seed lot. The article provides specific results on different variations (e.g., stratification temperature and priming solution).Suggested Citation
