the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tillage methods to obtain suitable seedbed for monogerm seed. therefore, a split plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replicatians was conducted at darab station of fars province. the main plot was seedbed prepration at two levels including fall and spring season. subplot included 1) moldboard plow a...

The response of tomato genotype Cal-ji  against five salinity levels (distilled water as control, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM) were studied at germination and early seedling stages. An experiment with conducted by using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Shoot and root length, shoot and root fresh weight, seed vigor, mean germination time, germination percentage an...

We studied seed germination and seedling growth of the Mexican sunflower Tithonia diversifolia in Nigeria. This involved the usage of some dormancy-releasing methods and the effect of some concentrations of three herbicide formulations on the young seedlings. Initial germination tests on fresh and stored seeds revealed a low percentage germination of less than 30%. The seeds of the weed exhibit...

The effects of different priming treatments and priming durations on germination percentage at different temperatures in parsley seeds were studied. The seeds were treated for 2, 4, 6 and 8 days with the PEG 6000 (–0.5 MPa, –1.0 MPa and –1.5 MPa), KNO3 (0.30 mol/L and 0.35 mol/L), Mannitol (0.50 mol/L and 0.60 mol/L) and hydropriming (12h, 24h, 36h and 48h) and unprimed (control). Germination s...

salinity is one of the environmental factors that have a critical influence on the germination of seeds and plant establishment. salinity affects imbibition, germination and root elongation. in this study, the germination characteristics of matricaria comomilla and thymus deanensis were studied. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of salinity on germination of these species....

drought and salinity are two important environmental stresses limiting the crop production. in order to study the influence of drought and salinity stresses on germination characteristics of marshmallow plant seeds, two separate experiments were conducted based on completely randomized design with four replications in controlled conditions. drought stress levels were 0, -2, -4, -6 and -8 bar in...

considering forage grass species, germination is one of the important stagesconcerning the growing stage that is often influenced by environmental stresses,particularly salinity and drought stresses. thus, this study aims to assess the effects ofsalinity and drought stresses on germination characteristics and seedling growth of desertwheatgrass, agropyron desertorum (fisch. ex link) schult. in ...
