This may require planting deeper than 1.5 inches under dry soil conditions. If you must plant deeper than 1.5 inches in order to place the seed into uniform moisture, make sure the variety has an excellent emergence score or long hypocotyl. Also, consider seed size when deciding how deep to plant.
The epididymis (/ÉpÉ¨ËdÉªdÉ¨mÉªs/ ; plural: epididymides /ÉpÉ¨dÉ¨ËdÉªmÉdiËz/ or /ÉpÉ¨ËdÉªdÉmÉªdiËz/) is a tube that connects a testicle to a vas deferens in the male reproductive system. It is present in all male reptiles, birds, and mammals.
In man, about 50% of spermatozoa are stored in the cauda (tail) of the epididymis, with the average time of storage in the epididymis between 10 and 20 days. Sperm can be damaged during epididymal storage by elevated temperature (such as in the presence of a varicocele), infection, or other hostile conditions.
