Fig. 2 Germination percentage (0–7 and 8–14 d periods) of oven-dried (40°C for 24 h) Suerte atra paspalum seed harvested in 1994, 1995, and 1996 and stored under ambient conditions for 28 d (1 mo), 84 d (3 mo), and 168 d (6 mo) or 3°C for up to 36 mo (Fig. 1, Treatments 4 and 7). Germination in 15 to 28 d = 28-d percentage - (0–7 d percentage + 8–14 d percentage) (Table 1). Within months after seed harvest, bars (0–7 vs. 8–14 d periods) with the same letter are not different (P > 0.05)
