Abstract: | Summary Water absorption by seeds of wheat and corn was studied over a temperature range of 5 to 35°C spaced at 5°C in sandy loam
soil with moisture levels of 10 and 15 per cent. With increasing temperature, water absorption increased. The difference in
water absorption due to moisture levels under study was not appreciable. Irrespective of treatments, a rapid initial absorption
was followed by a tapering-off period of slow absorption. |
