Abstract:Germination is influenced by several factors, among them pH. Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of imbibition-water pH on the water absorption curve of chincuya seeds and germination. The results were contrasted to the known effect of gibberellic acid imbibition. In the first year of fruit collection and evaluation, imbibition curves were constructed per treatment. The seeds of this evaluation were divided into two lots: the first at the initial moisture content (39.9 %) and the second at t… Show more
