The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Seed priming techniques in field crops-A review (2015, background): “It has been reported that one of the major obstacles to high yield and production of crop plants is the lack of synchronized crop establishment due to poor weather and soil conditions (Mwale et al., 2003).”
Seed treatments to overcome salt and drought stress during germination in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) (2006, background): “One of the major obstacles to igh yield and production is the lack of synchronized crop stablishment in sunflower due to poor weather and soil conitions (Mwale et al., 2003).”
Effects of Salt and Drought Stresses on Germination and Seedling Growth of Pea (Pisum sativum L.) (2005, background): “Seeds sown in seedbeds having unfavorable moisture because of limited rainfall at sowing time yield in poor and unsynchronized seedling emergence (Ghoulam and Fares, 2001; Mwale et al., 2003), affecting the uniformity of plant density with negative effects on yield.”
Effect of PEG-induced drought stress on seed germination of four lentil genotypes (2014, background): “…environments where lentil is widespread, unfavorable soil moisture at sowing often conditions severely seed germination resulting in an irregular seedling emergence, which in turn affects the establishment of a stand, with negative effects on the yield (Mwale et al. 2003; Okcu et al. 2005).”
