Abstract

Germination experiments were carried out with varying but equivalent amounts of NH4Cl, (NH4)2SO4, and NH4NO3, while in one experiment urea was included. It could be stated that the inhibitory effect on germination was ionic in nature, the effect of urea being rather small, while it was safer to use NH4Cl or (NH4)2SO4 than NH4NO3, especially under dry conditions.
