Slow Release of GA<sub>3</sub> Hormone from Polymer Coating Overcomes Seed Dormancy and Improves Germination

Seed dormancy often hinders direct seeding efforts that are attempting to restore degraded landscapes. Gibberellic acid (GA<sub>3</sub>) can be applied to physiologically dormant seeds to induce germination, but this hormone is rarely effective, as it can degrade or be leached from the s...
