Description

Provides functions to fit non-linear regression curves such as logistic (Bentsink et al. 2010 <doi:10.1073/pnas.1000410107> and 2011 <doi:10.1007/978-1-61779-231-1_11>, Postma et al. 2015 <doi:10.1111/mec.13061>) and log-logistic models (Fogliatto et al. 2020 <doi:10.1080/11263504.2019.1578282>) to germination count data recorded at sequential time intervals of seed storage. Facilitates estimation of key parameters such as days of seed dry storage required to reach 50% germination and rate of dormancy release.
