Notes

In controlled conditions of temperature and medium but varied white light intensity, the rate of resting eggs hatching decreases under en intensity near 1 Wm-2. In a visible spectrum divided into narrow isoquantic bands, the short wavelengths (400-480 nm) are more efficient for breaking dormancy.
