Some Factors Affecting Seed Germination and Seedling Growth

摘要

Poor uniformity of seed germination and early seedling growth rates are major obstacles in conventional propagation. This paper combines some principles of propagation with climate control and may help growers better understand and then control seedlings environmental factors. The physical environment affects seedling physiology (photosynthesis, transpiration, and respiration), with factors interacting to control growth rate and uniformity. A strategy for controlling environmental factors will benefit seedling etiolation, hardiness, and disease control.
