Seeds with recalcitrant behaviour are shed from the mother plant at high moisture contents and cannot survive desiccation below a relatively high moisturecontent.
Movements may arise from structural deformation, or may be induced by temperature variations or changes in moisturecontent.
Interactions with other factors operating in the field (particularly moisturecontent and anaerobic conditions) should also be ascertained.
They further suggest a modified relationship for the log of the mean viability period as a function of storage temperature and moisturecontent.
In tomato/cowpea intercropping, all cowpea pods were harvested at maturity and dried to a moisturecontent of 120 g water/kg fresh weight.
Between 60 and 80 % of seeds germinated after six months storage at 12.8 % moisturecontent.
Depending on storage conditions and time between measurement of grain yield and kernel mass, the moisturecontent difference can be substantial.
The grain weight from each plot was adjusted to 14% moisturecontent.
The moisturecontent of the grain was used to calculate grain yield per ha after adjusting to 12% moisturecontent.
Heavy metals in the ash were plotted against waste weight, moisturecontent, and average flue temperature during the sample period but no correlation was apparent.
Results are expressed as the mean moisturecontent obtained from three to five replicates of 10 organs.
Earthworm casts were negatively related to soil temperatures and positively to moisturecontent.
Values were normalized by dividing dehydration data by the initial seed moisturecontent, and rehydration data by the final seed moisturecontent.
Seeds from all species exhibited orthodox behaviour, tolerating dehydration to a moisturecontent of around 5%.
The low concentration detected by the field test kit could be attributed to the high moisturecontent or sample heterogeneity.
With an increase in seed moisturecontent, either through humidification or through imbibition, there is rearrangement of cellular water.
These samples were then stored for six months, and relations between seed germination and initial seed moisturecontent in local and improved cultivars determined.
