Abstract

This study focuses on the germination requirements of three segetal plant species: Agrostemma githago, Bupleurum rotundifolium and Xeranthemum inapertum. Seeds were collected in the Western Alps, Piedmont, and conserved in a cool and dry place at room temperature for a post-maturation period of at least 30 days. Our results show a high germination response for some treatments in all the species.
