Reliability of Early and Final Counts in Cold and Cool Germination Tests for Predicting Maize Seed Vigour

Cold test (CT) is widely used in maize for predicting field performance in early sowing, even though it is rather labour intensive and requires almost two weeks to complete. The objective of this work was to examine alternative procedures to CT suitable for routine testing. Standard germination (SG)...
