S ORGHUMS are of tropical origin and have long been known to germinate and grow best at relatively high temperatures. Both seeds and seedlings of sorghum are very sensitive to environmental conditions. Experiments are under way to determine the causes of seed rotting and seedling blights of sorghums and the soil temperature and other factors influencing them. Data were recorded on the germination and development of sorghum seedlings grown at five soil temperatures and three depths of planting in one of the pathological experiments, and these data are presented here.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
