The Potential of Trichoderma sp. as Biological Agent to Support the Germination of Corn Seeds (Zea Mays)
This research is motivated by the fact that corn seeds in storage are often characterized with low seed viability and infected by diseases so that the seeds grow abnormally and even die. Corn seeds have thick/hard cell walls. It is acknowledged that the corn seed walls contain cellulose, which can b...
