浸种催芽长期以来被视为促进作物生长和高产的一条有效措施。可是,美国一位农业专家经过研究得出了与此相反的结论。他指出,采用浸泡法促使作物种子快速发芽,实际上会产生副作用。正常情况下,播种后的种子从土壤中吸收足够的水份产生根尖,根尖刺破种子皮层“脱颖而出”,这样,发育的植物可以自由生长。 Soaking seeds has long been regarded as an effective measure to promote crop growth and high yield. However, a U.S. agricultural expert has come to the opposite conclusion after studying it. He pointed out that the soaking method to promote the rapid germination of crop seeds, in fact, have side effects. Under normal circumstances, the sown seeds absorb enough water from the soil to produce root tips that pierce the seed cortex and “stand out” so that the developing plant can grow freely.
