Interrelations Between Post-Harvest Dormancy and Soil Moisture in Germination of Wheat¹

Synopsis: Time of planting, age of seed, and soil moisture conditions affected germination and emergence of 4 varieties of winter wheat in field and laboratory tests. All varieties germinated poorly, regardless of soil moisture conditions, when planted before dormancy was completed; however, varieties differed in ability to germinate under limited soil moisture when not affected by post-harvest dormancy. Rate of growth, as measured by epicotyl length, was positively correlated with soil moisture.
