Seed Quality Evaluation of Senegalia polyphylla (DC.) Britton & Rose
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of Senegalia polyphylla seeds from different trees by X-ray (XR) and electric conductivity (EC) tests. Seeds from three different trees were used. The seeds were classified through radiography in: full, malformed, with small damage and empty...
