SeedCalc: Seed germination and seedling growth indexes

In SeedCalc: Seed Germination and Seedling Growth Indexes

Description

Functions to calculate seed germination and seedling emergence and growth indexes.

The main indexes for germination and seedling emergence, considering the time for seed germinate are: T10, T50 (Farooq et al., 2005), T90 e MGT (Labouriau, 1983); considering the germination speed are: Germination Speed Index (Maguire, 1962), Mean Germination Rate (Labouriau, 1983); considering the homogeneity of germination are: Coefficient of Variation of the Germination Time (Carvalho et al., 2005) and Variance of Germination (Labouriau, 1983); Uncertainty (Labouriau & Valadares, 1976) and Synchrony (Primack, 1980).

The main seedling indexes are Growth, Uniformity and Vigour (Sako, 2001; Medeiros & Pereira, 2018).
