Abstract

Faster germination aids invasive weeds’ competitive ability.

Several different seed enhancement technologies can help improve native grass germination.

Osmotic priming, solid matrix priming, and gibberellic acid (GA3) seed coatings are different techniques that have been shown to increase seedling germination in native plants.
