Priming impacts on seed quality of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) under salinity condition
This study aimed to investigate the seed priming effects on the quality of tomato seeds under salinity and non-salinity conditions. The factorial design was carried out in the form of completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications. The treatments included priming (Control, tryptophan, proline and arginine with five mM concentration) and levels of salinity (0, […]
Effect of seed priming durations on growth and yield of wheat varieties
The results revealed that the crop treated 1.5 hour seed priming proved to be more effective than the treatments with 87.33% seed germination, 88.00 cm plant height, 3.5367 m2 number of tillers, 11.611 cm spike length, 49.667 spikelet’s spike-1, 46.667 grain spike-1, 1.3011 g grain weight spike-1, 46.367 g seed index, 17174 kg ha-1 biological […]
Variation of physicochemical parameters of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) haustorium during germination
This study is done to determine the biochemical characteristics of coconut haustorium during germination in order to propose ways of increasing their commercial value. The Malaysia Yellow Dwarf (MYD) cultivar was used for this study. The coconut were stored during one month before putting in seedbed at the nursey.At2 and 4 months of germination, biochemical […]
Germination response of five tree species on hospital wastewater
World is facing water scarcity and wastewater may be important source of water and nutrients for irrigation. Estimates reveal that about 10% of agri-land is irrigated usingwastewater with both positive and negative effects on ecosystem. Since wastewater reuse is currently necessary (due to water shortage). The best feasible management practice is to use wastewater for […]
Characterization and seed quality of some dwarf soybean genotypes
An investigation was carried out at the experimental field of the Department of Agronomy of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during January 2012 through April 2012, to characterize different plant parameters of thirteen dwarf soybean (Glycine max L.) genotypes. A wide diversity among the genotypes in their physio-morphological characters including yield was recorded. […]
Seed quality, physical properties and proximate compositions of traditional Adan rice
In the presence study, Adan rice was evaluated for seed quality, some physical and proximate compositions. The seed purity and moisture content and germination was 99.76±0.07%, 10.53±0.50% and 91.33±1.29% respectively. Adan rice seed took minimum 4 days to fully germinate. The physical properties of Adan Rice were evaluated at 12.03 ±0.14% moisture content. The length, […]
Salinity effects on germination and growth of Malaysian weedy rice biotypes and cultivated rice
Germination and seedling growth of plant species are reduced in saline due to an external osmotic potential. An experiment was conducted at the laboratory, Faculty of Sustainable Agriculture, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, to compare the salt effect on seed germination and growth of weedy rice and cultivated rice. Seeds (10 in each) were placed in petri […]
The impact of hydro-priming duration on seed invigoration and field emergence of milk thistle
Laboratory tests and a field experiment were conducted in 2015, to evaluate the effects of hydro-priming duration (0, 8 and 16 hours) on seed invigoration and seedling emergence of milk thistle. All laboratory tests were arranged as completely randomized design with four replications and the field experiment was carried out as randomized complete block design […]
Allelopathic potential of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) on germination and growth of some crop and weed plants
This study was conducted in the laboratories of Agricultural college, Salahaddin University to investigate the allelopathic potential of Raphanus sativus L. roots aqueous extracts on germination and growth of wheat, and barley crops with three endemic weed plants (Avina fatua , Phalaris minorand, Brassica napus), in order to indicate the potentiality of utilizing this extract […]
The effect of different soil and shade regime on germination and growth pattern of Dodonaea viscosa (Linn.) Jacq., in Malakand division
Both soil and shade are the most essential factors for the establishment and growth of plants. The study investigated two stages of Dodonaea viscosa reproduction, seed germination and seedling growth on various screening effects of four combinations i.e. B1S1-seeds sowed in pure Garden soil; B2S2-seeds sowed in field soil substrate containing organic manure (Humus); B3S3-seeds […]
