DOI: SOYBEAN SEED GROWTH OPTIMIZATION
Mariposa Delfin , Department of Plant Physiology and Post-harvest, University of Ciego de Ávila, Carretera de Morón, Ciego de Ávila, CubaAbstract
This study explores a stimulative approach for optimizing the growth of soybean seeds, with a focus on enhancing germination and development. By employing various techniques and treatments to stimulate seed growth, including priming, hormone application, and environmental manipulation, this research aims to improve the overall performance and yield potential of soybean crops. Drawing on both empirical research and practical experimentation, the study investigates the effectiveness of different stimulatory methods in promoting germination efficiency, seedling vigor, and ultimately, crop productivity. The findings shed light on innovative strategies for maximizing the growth potential of soybean seeds, thereby contributing to the advancement of sustainable agriculture practices.
