Effects of Moisture Stress and Temperature on Germination of Six Range Grasses1

William J. McGinnies2

Synopsis: Increased moisture stress delayed germination, reduced rate and 28-day total of germination. Highest average germination was at 20° C. Under high moisture stress all species germinated better at 20 than at 10 or 30° C. Seed size showed positive correlation with germination at a stress of 15 atmospheres.
