Table 1 in Effect of the seed maturation stage and pre-germination treatments on emergence of Erythrina crista-galli L.

Table 1. Mean ± standard deviation for the ESI and MET variables. Equivalent letters mean that treatments do not differ statistically (one factor ANOVA, with Tukey test for multiple comparisons of means, p ≤ 0.05). TC – control; T1– sanded and soaked in water for 48 h; T2 – sanded and soaked in water for 24 h; T3 – soaked in water outside of heating at the initial temperature of 60 °C until reaching ambient temperature; T4 – only sanded; and T5 – immature seeds.
