Impact of the soil and climate conditions upon the formation of the crop yield and germinating power of the switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) seeds

Abstract

This paper investigates the productivity of the switchgrass seeds (Panicum virgatum L.) in close interaction with the agro-ecological conditions of the vegetation period. An impact has been established of the storage period on the indicator of the laboratory germination power of the seeds, which has been obtained under different soil conditions. In the future a high-quality seed material of the switchgrass can provide better conditions for the growth and development of plants in the initial stages of organogenesis.
