Abstract
The benefits of establishing crops from fluid-drilled pre-germinated seeds have been reported from a large number of isolated experiments.
However, there has been no co-ordinated work to show how fluid-drilled pre-germinated seeds are affected by different field environments.
In this paper results are presented which describe seedling emergence from pre-germinated and natural dry seeds in a wide range of seed-bed conditions.
The predictability of establishment from pre-germinated seed is discussed and compared to that from natural seed.
