Abstract: The present disclosure relates in general to the imbibition of grains for the agronomic, horticulture, animal feed, and malting industries. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for overcoming individual differences in grain morphology using negative pressure to achieve a uniform rate at which grains absorb water, nutrients, and additives from the surrounding environment to increase the productivity, efficiency, and economics of industries that rely on grain germination and seedling development to produce a product. The application of negative pressure to grains in aqueous solutions containing plant additives such as phytohormones has been found to reduce seedling-to-seedling developmental variability, hydration variability, and the concentration of phytohormones needed to achieve improved germination rates, the mobilization of starches, and the uniform development rate of seedlings.
