Abstract:A knowledge of the imbibition stages shown by different species, is essential in research projects aiming at improvement of seed quality by treatments such as osmotic conditioning, initial wetting, and the use of bioregulators. The objective of this study was to establish a methodology to determine the limit between the first and second stages of the process, considering the model W = f(t) - (a - w0)exp(-kt), using statistical tests. This limit was determined using an asymptotic distribution of an estimator fu… Show more
