SeedCalc - Seed Germination and Seedling Growth Indexes
Functions to calculate seed germination and seedling
emergence and growth indexes. The main indexes for germination
and seedling emergence, considering the time for seed germinate
are: T10, T50 and T90, in Farooq et al. (2005)
<10.1111/j.1744-7909.2005.00031.x>; and MGT, in Labouriau
(1983). Considering the germination speed are: Germination
Speed Index, in Maguire (1962), Mean Germination Rate, in
Labouriau (1983); considering the homogeneity of germination
are: Coefficient of Variation of the Germination Time, in
Carvalho et al. (2005) <10.1590/S0100-84042005000300018>, and
Variance of Germination, in Labouriau (1983); Uncertainty, in
Labouriau and Valadares (1976) <ISSN:0001-3765>; and Synchrony,
in Primack (1980). The main seedling indexes are Growth, in
Sako (2001), Uniformity, in Sako (2001) and Castan et al.
(2018) <doi:10.1590/1678-992x-2016-0401>; and Vigour, in
Medeiros and Pereira (2018)
<doi:10.1590/1983-40632018v4852340>.
