La stratification consiste à disposer les graines, par exemple dans des caisses, en couches minces alternées avec des lits de sable ou de tourbe. Lorsque [...] le substrat est humide et maintenu à basse température, la stratification a pour effet de favoriser la germination des graines. Diverses méthodes de stratification, avec entre autres application de froid (0 à 5°) pendant des périodes de quelques semaines peuvent être des moyens actifs pour lever la dormance de certaines graines et assurer plus de régularité à la levée du semis. 3, record 1, French, - lev%C3%A9e%20de%20dormance
