Quantifying the effects of temperature on dormancy change and germination in orchardgrass (<i>Dactylis glomerata</i> L.) and western wheatgrass (<i>Pascopyrum smithii</i> [Rydb.] L.)

Orchardgrass (<i>Dactylis glomerata</i> L.) and western wheatgrass (<i>Pascopyrum smithii </i>(Rydb.) L.) seeds have different degrees of dormancy that result in non-uniform seedling emergence in the field. Seed dormancy of the two species, in part, causes disagreement betwee...
