Description:
Burial and removal techniques with seed bags were usedto examine the viability and longevity ofMelaleuca quinquenerviaseeds at four field sites representing different soil typesand hydrological conditions in South Florida. Seed viabilitywas determined over different burial durations in the soilthrough a combination of germination tests and 2,3,5-triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) treatments. Control seedskept dry at 25 C in the laboratory maintained same viabilityof ca. 15% over the 3-year study. In the field, seed viability decreasedwith increased burial duration.(PDF has 4 pages.)
