to determine the effect of seed size of sugar beet cultivars on germination and seedling vigor, a study was conducted as a 4×6 factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 4 replications at seed and plant certification and registration institute, karaj in 2013. the treatments were toucan, dorotea, rasta, sharif, pars, and torbat cultivars and four seed width sizes including 2...

A large body of research has documented the effect of seed priming ongermination, emergence and crop yield. In such research, seed priming has beenfound to have a positive, negative or no effect. Meta-analysis can help tosummarize and interpret a collection of experiments. The aim of this study was toconduct a meta-analysis to synthesize published data from studies addressing theeffect of seed ...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different temperatures on seed germination of plantago ovata and also to evaluate cardinal temperatures. various constant temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35ºc) were conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications. the germinated seeds were counted every day and the rate of germination percentage, cumulative germin...

low seed germination and seedling emergence is one of the main problems in saline areas. seed priming technique has been known as a challenge to improve germination and seedling emergence under different environmental stress. the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of seed priming with gibberellin, nacl and water on seed germination and seed reserve utilization and germination...

This research was conducted to assessment effect of different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite along several times on quantitative parameters of wheat seeds affected by Aspergillus flavus fungus via factorial experiment according randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments consisted four concentrations of sodium hypochlorite or NaClO (C1= 2%, C2= 4%, C3= 6%, and...
