Propagation Processing/Propagule Characteristics:
Seed cleaning protocols need to be developed. Source seed is very unclean and tedious to clean. A precision blowing study is needed to determine the suitable blowing point to get rid of the light weight contaminants.

Pre-Planting Propagule Treatments:
Prechilling seeds for 14 days at 10C followed by germinating seeds at alternating temperatures of 15/25 C using 0.2% KNO3 in moistening substratum
