Abstract
Broccoli growers in southside Virginia have had difficulty with
stand establishment. This research was undertaken to identify
potential causes of poor stand establishment. Temperature and soil
moisture conditions in southside Virginia during July and August are
often less than favorable for seedling growth. Experiments were
designed to test the temperature and moisture stress limits for
germination and emergence of 'Packman' broccoli, under the controlled
conditions of growth chambers.
