Germination

1. SEEDS

   • Seedlings
     • Plants
       • Winter will affect number
       • Viable Tillers
         • Yield
           • No of grains per ear
           • Weight of each grain
           • Ear per m2
           • optimum yield from inputs
         • Optimum Number/m2
   • Species
   • Quality
   • Need to Know
     • 1. Germination
     • 2. Disease (fusarium)
     • 3/4. Vigour
       • How quickly germinate in adverse conditions
         • Affected by protein
           • more is better
       • Depends on planting conditions
     • 3/4. TGW
       • Depends on planting conditions
     • Certification - tells nothing more than standard states

2. SOIL

   • 1. Soil Type +OM
   • 2. Structure
   • 3. Depth
   • 4. Temperature
   • 5. Moisture
   • Pests and Diseases
   • Soil Indices - NPK/pH
