DOI: 10.1080/01140671.2018.1538051
Abstract: ABSTRACT Surfactants are often used in seed coatings to homogenise seed size and to protect seeds from injuries. Being near developing seeds surfactants may affect germination. Therefore the potential toxicity of different common surfactants on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/rec.14312
Abstract: The success of seeding projects in dryland systems is sporadic, with failure primarily driven by low seedling emergence and survival. This sporadic nature is influenced by a litany of biotic and abiotic factors that act… read more here.
