Acid-digestion improves native grass seed handling and germination

The ability to reliably deliver germinable seeds to site through conventional mechanised seeding techniques is a major challenge for many native grass species where seed appendages cause issues with flowability. This study successfully developed an effective acid-digestion technique to delicately re...
