Production of Sweet-Potato Seedlings at the Virgin Islands Experiment Station (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Production of Sweet-Potato Seedlings at the Virgin Islands Experiment Station
Good untreated seed germinates very irregularly, even when it is sown under favorable climatic conditions. The first seeds germinate in 2 to 4 days after planting, and the others at any time within 100 days. Germination can be improved and hastened by scarifying the seed.
Tests of the influence of storage and age on seed, showed that sweet potato seed can be stored under St. Oroix conditions for at least 14 months without deteriorating.
