Gibberellin significantly improved seed emergence in two castor varieties under field conditions, enhancing growth.
After 9 months of storage, castor seeds reached 90% of maximum emergence rate, revealing dormancy impacts.
Experiments showed that planting direction did not influence emergence rates, emphasizing other factors' roles.
High doses of gibberellin did not deform the seeds, but increased their response to shade, affecting growth.

Observational analysis shows gibberellin enhances seed emergence in castor, indicating storage time influences dormancy.

Severino et al. (2025) studied this question.
