二十世纪七十年代初,英国国家蔬菜研究所(NVRS)采用了一项在播种之前就使用一种名为“液化培植”的技术来使种子在最佳状态下发芽。这个技术是在六十年代由英国种子研究组织首创的,不过当时只是把它作为一种在废弃的草场上种植草籽的方法。不久,它作为一种具有潜能的无损植播各种发芽种子的方法就开始为人们所重视了。 In the early 1970s, the British National Vegetable Research Institute (NVRS) adopted a technique known as “liquefaction” prior to sowing to germinate the seeds in the best condition. This technology was first pioneered by the British Seed Research Organization in the 1960s, but at the time it was only used as a way to grow grass seeds on abandoned pastures. It soon became apparent as a potential method of planting seedless seeds of all kinds.
