külmstratifikatsiooni
Külmstratifikatsioon, also known as cold stratification, is a horticultural technique used to break seed dormancy and promote germination for certain plant species. It mimics the natural winter conditions that many seeds require to become viable. The process involves exposing seeds to a period of cold, moist conditions for a specific duration, typically ranging from a few weeks to several months.
The primary purpose of cold stratification is to overcome physiological dormancy mechanisms within the seed coat
To perform cold stratification, seeds are usually mixed with a moist medium, such as peat moss, vermiculite,
Different plant species have varying stratification requirements regarding temperature and duration. Some may need only a
