Dynamics of Dry-Down in Seed, Head and Stalk from Sunflower Genotypes Sprayed with Chemical Desiccants After Physiological Maturity
(Turkish Journal of Agriculture - Food Science and Technology, 2019-01-10)
Chemical desiccation can advance the sunflower harvest time. Paraquat has been extensively used, but other less risky chemicals, as Carfentrazone and Saflufenacil, can rise as an alternative. Moisture levels of seed, head ...
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 ...
Hybrid sunflower seed yield, composition and deterioration after chemical desiccation
(International Journal of Plant Production, 2017-04)
The impact of chemical desiccation on yield showed contrasting results depending on seed
moisture content at the time of application. Its effects on seed deterioration are still unknown
and could be modified by seed ...
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
