Error in Title

In the original publication [1], there was an error in the title regarding the species name. The correct title should be:
“Using Halothermal Time Model to Describe Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Seed Germination Response to Water Potential and Temperature”.

Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication [1]. The Equations (15) and (18) of Timson germination index (TGI) and the time for 50% germination are both the same, and also the remark provided for Equation (15) does not follow the equation. A correction has been made to Section 2.5.7, “Timson Germination Index (TGI)” and Section 2.5.10, “Seed Vigor Index-II (SVI-II)”:

2.5.7. Timson Germination Index (TGI) 

The Timson Germination Index (TGI) quantifies germination speed using the following formula [52]:
Timson   Germination   Index   ( TGI ) =   Σ G / t
where G is the number of seeds germinated on a given day and t is the corresponding day number (e.g., 1, 2, 3…).

2.5.10. Seed Vigor Index-II (SVI-II) 

The dry weight of three seedlings from each pot was measured with a precision balance. These measures were used to calculate the Seed Vigor Index according to the following formula [55]:
Seed   Vigor   Index   =   S e e d   d r y   w e i g h t   m g × S e e d   G e r m i n t i o n   %
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
