Abstract
Seed priming of two Andropogon gerardii cultivars enhanced germination in the greenhouse, but either had no effect or decreased seedling field emergence. Switchgrass germination was increased slightly in the greenhouse when seeds were primed and enhanced germination only under wet soil conditions.Suggested Citation
