Seed Priming Protocol 'AZTEC'

These are results on the effects of priming on a popcorn (Zea mays L.) variety. 

AZTEC increased seed vigour (+53%), number of usable plants (+24%) and above-ground fresh weight biomass of seedlings (+23%) when seeds were germinated under slightly less favourable temperature conditions (17-18ºC day/14-15ºC night). This proves that this priming is especially useful in early sowings and colder climates.
