Abstract
SUMMARY: A period of storage at 2–3 °C followed by storage at higher temperatures more suitable for sprouting, gave a more rapid and greater total sprout development than that produced by continuous storage in sprouting conditions. The effect on the number of sprouts produced and the potential yield advantages to be gained from increasing sprout development by such a treatment are discussed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
