The objective of this study was to obtain a seed-origin onion (Allium cepa L.) that able grow in the tropical riparian soil. Research designed with non-experimental. Two cultivars were studied, namely Sanren and Lokananta. Onion seeds planted directly without transplanting, there three plots (4 m x 1.6 0.3 m) germination testplot (1 m). Soil tillage, spacing/ population, fertilization, plant ma...

The introduction of nanoparticles into seed germination and seedling growth of plants might have a significant impact and thus, it can be used for agricultural applications for better growth and yield. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of silica and silver nanoparticles on seed germination and early growth traits as well as percent and rate of germination, root length, shoot ...

Historically preparing cottonseed for planting purposes involved the use of an acid delinting process, which allows the seed to flow in a single seed manner required for planting. This process is very effective and inexpensive, yet it could potentially be very hazardous to the seed, workers and the environment. This study evaluates the performance of a polymer starch coating applied to partiall...

Allelopathy is one of the main factors limiting the plants growth. The present study investigated the effect of aqueous extract of leaves and fruit of Artemisia sieberi that is an important species for rangeland rehabilitation on seed germination and seedling growth of three alfalfa species (Medicago sativa cv. Nikshahri,‌ Medicago polymorpha and Medicago scutellata cv. Robinson) in laboratory ...

Groundnut seed priming was performed with an aqueous solution of gibberellic acid (GA3) (0, 50, 100, and 150 ppm for 18h) and accelerated aging (96 h) was done prior to drought stress (-0.4, -0.6, and -0.8 MPa), then recovered. Investigated traits were germination percentage, mean germination time, germination rate, vigor index, plumule length, radicle length, seedling length, malondialdehyde c...

drought is one on the most important factors limiting the productivity of spring chickpea in drylands of iran. sixtym genotypes of chickpea from icarda's germplasm accessions, as well as one drought susceptible check (ilc 3279), were sown in spring of 2010 at two locations, sanandaj and maragheh, in the western highlands of iran for one year. the experiment in each location was laid out in a ra...

In the context of seed technology, the use of physical methods for increasing plant production offers advantages over conventional treatments based on chemical substances. The effects of physical invigoration treatments in seeds can be now addressed at multiple levels, ranging from morpho-structural aspects to changes in gene expression and protein or metabolite accumulation. Among the physical...
