Germination and seedling establishment of Paspalum guenoarum (3824) as affected by pre-germination treatment and depth of sowing

The results of the study revealed a significant difference between pregermination treatments with regards to percent germination and seedling physical performance. Seeds treated with mechanical scarification is effective than potassium nitrate 0.2 percent solution in increasing germination but the seedlings were not as vigorous as those seeds treated with potassium nitrate regardless of the depth of sowing. There were no significant differences among treatments in terms of plant height, and the occurrence of pest and diseases
