Abstract
By heat resistance measurements and carbol-fuchsin and nigrosine staining technic, the spore germination rate was measured. The max. rate occurred 20 days following harvesting when stored at 20[degree] C. The max. rate occurred earlier following heat treatment, and later following low temp. storage and HgCl2 treatment. Germination was completely inhibited by oxine and BAL treatment.Keywords
