OAR@ICRISATA Laboratory Technique to Screen Seedling Emergence of Sorghum and Pearl Millet at High Soil TemperaturePSomanauthorJ MPeacockauthorApparatus was built to screen sorghum and pearl millet for seedling emergence through a hot soil surface. Seeds were sown in soil in long clay pots arranged in a steel water tank so that the top 7 cm of the pots was above the water level. The soil in the pots was heated with infra-red lamps fitted to a frame above the tank. By adjusting the height of the frame the temperature of the soil could be changed. The system allows emerging plumules to be subjected to high soil temperatures (up to 50°C) but without water stress. Both crops exhibited genotypic differences in emergence.MilletsSorghum1985Cambridge University PressArticle
