Smoke–water treatment of seeds, an ancient technique for increasing seed vigorGermination is an essential phenomenon in the life cycle of plants, and a variety of external and internal factors influence it. Fire and the produced smoke have been vital environmental stimulants for the germination of...
Smoke waterPlant-derived smoke water (SW), derived from combusted plant material, has been shown to stimulate seed germination and improve seedling vigor of a number of plant species from fire-dependent Mediterranean-type climate areas. The effects of SW on seed germination of 13 plant species ...
The application of plant-derived smoke and smoke water is well known for promoting germination, breaking dormancy, and checking abiotic stress. This significantly indicates that plant-derived smoke contains some bioactive metabolites responsible for the physiological metabolism of seed germination and is ...
Simply burn a small amount of twigs and leavesfrom native plants, taking care over safety, and collect the ashes. Soak in water for 24 hours, sieve, and use the smokey water as before.https://www.theseedcollection.com.au/blog/Smoke-Treatment-for-Native-Seed-Germination ...
Effects of sand priming to seed germination and vigor of sweet corn Two sweet corn varieties (Wanyu 10, Antian 3) were selected as materials to study the effect of sand priming with different water contents to their germina... WM Zhang,ZH Liang,DN Yao,... - 《Journal of Anhui Agricultu...
Plant-derived smoke water (SW), derived from combusted plant material, has been shown to stimulate seed germination and improve seedling vigor of a number of plant species from fire-dependent Mediterranean-type climate areas. The effects of SW on seed germination of 13 plant species from southern...
Similarly, application of smoked water to the soil seed bank in previously mined sites elicited a significant positive germination response, increasing total germinants and species numbers by 56 and 33%, respectively. Treatment of mixed seed lots with aerosol smoke before broadcast resulted in ...
Butenolides from Plant-Derived Smoke: Natural Plant-Growth Regulators with Antagonistic Actions on Seed Germination Smoke plays an intriguing role in promoting the germination of seeds of many species following a fire. Recently, a bicyclic compound containing a condensed... ME Light,BV Burger,S Dan...

Background/Question/Methods Seed dormancy is a common trait among plant species that inhabit environments characterized by periodic disturbance. Dormancy and the cues required for germination allow plants to avoid unfavorable environmental conditions. In fire-prone ecosystems, many species require signals su...
