Problems with switchgrass establishment from seed are often due to inherent seed dormancy from seeds harvested in fall and seeded the following spring. The objectives of this study were to determine (i) the effects of wet prechill (PC) treatment (5°C for 14 d) and scarification (8 M H 2 SO 4 for 5 min) on germination of five switchgrass cultivars and (ii) the effect of plant growth regulators (ethylene, gibberellin, and kinetin), CO 2 , PC, and influence of storage temperature and duration on germination of four selected lots of Blackwell (BW) and Cave-in-Rock (CIR) seeds. Storage treatments were initiated 1 February using seeds harvested the previous fall [...]}, number={4}, journal={AGRONOMY JOURNAL}, author={ZARNSTORFF, ME and KEYS, RD and CHAMBLEE, DS}, year={1994}, pages={667–672} } @article{zarnstorff_chamblee_mueller_campbell_1992, title={AUTUMN SWARD SUPPRESSION AND INSECT CONTROL EFFECTS ON LATE-WINTER NO-TILL ESTABLISHMENT OF LADINO CLOVER}, volume={84}, ISSN={["0002-1962"]}, DOI={10.2134/agronj1992.00021962008400060015x}, abstractNote={Ladino clover (Trifolium repens L.) has traditionally been established in the autumn in the southeastern USA. Grass suppression and insect control have proven beneficial for successful autumn no-till establishment. Winter planting offers and alternative, yet little is known about late winter grass suppression and insect or mollusk control. Herbicide applied at planting in late winter usually failed to suppress or kill cool-season grasses. Field studies were conducted to evaluate (i) the influence of fall suppression or kill with paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4' bipyridinium ion) of the tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) sward on late-winter (February or March) no-till establishment of ladino clover, (ii) establishment by drilling versus surface planting and (iii) the influence of suppression of insect and/or mollusk populations on the late-winter no-till establishment of ladino clover into tall fescue []}, number={6}, journal={AGRONOMY JOURNAL}, author={ZARNSTORFF, ME and CHAMBLEE, DS and MUELLER, JP and CAMPBELL, WV}, year={1992}, pages={983–987} } @article{zarnstorff_1990, title={Physioecological effects of cultural and pesticide management on no-till establishment of switchgrass and seed dormancy}, volume={51}, number={7}, journal={Dissertation Abstracts International.
