| Pre-Planting Treatments: | Ericameria nauseosa seeds germinated both with and without a cool treatment in our trials. However, when placed directly in our warm growth chamber (70F days and 50F nights)we saw only a 62% germination. This rate improved to 82% when given a two week cool (38F) treatment. The germination rate again dropped (to 78%) when the cool treatment was extended to 90 days. In summary, it appears that a brief cool treatment prior to a warm growth chamber is ideal for germination. | ||
