Germination of Sorghum Seed as Affected by Dormancy1

Earl T. Gritton and R. E. Atkins2

Synopsis: A range of sorghum genotypes differed significantly in relative expression of seed dormancy when germinated at intervals of 2 weeks and 1 month after harvest. Seed dormancy was of little consequence 3 months after harvest. Seed scarification was the most effective of several treatments evaluated for their utility in overcoming dormancy.
