Abstract:The use of high-quality Urochloa decumbens seeds is an essential factor for the establishment of pastures, and osmopriming under stress conditions may improve seed performance. This study was conducted at the Universidade Federal de Viçosa in a completely randomized design and aimed to evaluate the effects of osmopriming and its relationship with physical and physiological attributes of U. decumbens seeds subjected to water deficit. Seeds from ten lots were primed in H2O (0 MPa) and PEG (−0.8 MPa), KNO3 (0.2%)… Show more
