Chemical priming with urea and KNO3 enhances maize hybrids (Zea mays L.) seed viability under abiotic stress (2011, methodology): “…emergence, high vigor, and better yields mostly in vegetable and flower species (Bruggink et al. 1999; Dearman et al. 1987; Parera and Cantliffe 1994) and some field crops (Basra et al. 1988; Chiu et al. 2002; Giri and Schillinger 2003; Harris 1999; Hartz and Caprile 1995; Murungu et al. 2004).”
