Ranges of Vigor Based on the Electrical Conductivity Test in Dehulled Sunflower Seeds
(Research Journal of Seed Science, 2015)
Electrical Conductivity (EC) is a promising vigor test since it produces fast laboratory results.
In sunflower, the leakage of electrolytes from the pericarp may interfere with exudates from
embryo tissues. The aims of ...
Germination, vigour and dormancy of sunflower seeds following chemical desiccation of female plants
(Seed Science and Technology, 2014-11)
The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of chemical desiccation on (i) the germination and vigour of seeds of contrasting sunflower genotypes, and (ii) the level of seed dormancy, with emphasis on the anatomical

Encrusting offers protection against phytotoxic chemicals and maintains the physiological quality of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seeds
(Seed Science Technolgy, 2013-01)
Precision planting of sunfl ower seeds is hampered by the large variability in size and shape. Seed encrusting, the application of layers of adhesive and inert material, has the potential to solve this problem. However, ...
