In order to study the germination characteristics of Miscanthussinensisseeds,the influence of temperature,light time,soil water content and sowing depth on the seed germination and seedling growth were studied.The results indicated that the optimal temperature for M.sinensis seed germination was 25 ℃,and seed germination and seedling growth were inhibited under less than 10 ℃ treatment.The light time significantly influenced(P〈0.05)the germination index,vigor index and seedling growth,and the optimal light time was 12 halthough it had no e...
