Effects of Waterlogging on Wheat Seed Germination

The waterlogging experiment has been carried out in a greenhouse. There are one regular planting as control and four plantings waterlogging treated of one, three, five and seven days respectively. Six different types of wheat seeds have been planted in each tote.

The oxygen level in the water has been monitored by a CS511-L dissolved oxygen sensor with a CR1000 datalogger, both from Campbell Scientific, Inc.

The plant comparison of control and waterlogging treatment is shown above. The control is in the leftmost. To the right, the plants are waterlogging treated of one, three, five and seven days respectively.
