Many have shown a faster emergence time (the time it takes for seeds to rise above the surface of the soil), a higher emergence rate (the number of seeds that make it to the surface), and better growth, suggesting that the head-start helps them get a good root system down early and grow faster. This method can be useful to farmers because it saves them the money and time spent for fertilizers, re-seeding, and weak plants.
Many have demonstrated quicker germination times (the time it takes for seeds to rise above the surface of the soil), higher success rates (the number of seeds that make it to the surface), and better growth, indicating that an early start allows them to establish a robust root system quickly and grow more rapidly. This method can be beneficial to farmers as it saves them money and time spent on fertilizers, re-seeding, and weak plants.
