Accumulation of Soluble Sugar in True Seeds by Priming of Sugar Beet Seeds and the Effects of Priming on Growth and Yield of Drilled Plants

Accumulation of Soluble Sugar in True Seeds by Priming of Sugar Beet Seeds and the Effects of Priming on Growth and Yield of Drilled Plants

For improving the yield of drilled sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris), it is important to promote germination and early growth. In this study, the priming of sugar beet seeds was examined in six cultivars to improve their germinability in cool conditions. The optimum water content of sugar...
