Allelopathic effects of some Lamiaceae on seed germination and seedling growth of dodder (Cuscuta campestris Yunck.)
Dodder (Cuscuta campestris Yunck.) is one of the parasitic weeds that cause yield losses of many crops and orchards. Control of this weed is very difficult. This experiment was carried out to assay the effects of different concentrations [0 (distilled water as a control), 1.25%, 2.5%, and 5% (gram powder of plant per 100 ml […]
Assessment of hydro-priming on overcoming the allelopathic effect of walnut leave aqueous extract on seed germination and seedling growth
Juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) is an allelochemical responsible for walnut allelopathy. In order to assess the effects of hydro-priming on overcoming the allelopathic stress of walnut leave aqueous extract (control, 1.5, 3 and 6 percent) on seed germination and seedling growth of wheat and corn a laboratory experiment was conducted in University of Payame noor, Iran. Results […]
Effect of culture filtrates of Trichoderma on seed germination and seedling growth in chili
Five Trichoderma strains namely; T. virens IMI-392430, T. pseudokoningii IMI-392431, T. harzianum IMI-392432, T. harzianum IMI-392433 and T. harzianum IMI-392434 were evaluated for their potentiality on seed germination ofchili both in laboratory and field conditions. Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds were coated with culture filtrates of each test strains of Trichoderma supplemented with 2 % […]
Seed germination in response to osmotic stress
An Attempt was carried out to evaluate seed germination performances of Baraka, Adlib and Nineveh lentil cultivars besides Local Vetch and Local Mungbean cultivar under (0, -0.5, -1 and -1.5 Mpa) osmotic potentials created by dissolving pure NaCl in distilled water. Gradual reductions in osmotic solutions resulted in gradual reduction in all detected parameters. Subsequently, […]
Germination of Kamagong (Diospyros blancoi A. DC) seed soaked in different levels of Alpha Naphthalene Acetic Acid (ANAA)
Kamagong (Diospyros blancoi A. DC) is a commercially significant species that have been listed as critically endangered in the country due to unreported logging and overuse of this native trees. In this study, different levels of alpha naphthalene acetic acid were used to soaked the D. blancoi seeds and determine its germination. The study laid […]
A study on two different kinds of seeds germination under various natural conditions
Seeds are the embryonic form of plants kept inside a protective shell called seed coat. The seeds develop into a new plant under suitable conditions and the processes called germination. The seeds of different plants species has specific environment and requirements for germination. The seeds are variously influenced by different environmental factors Such as light, […]
Germination and survival of Syzygium polycephaloides (C. B. Rob.) Merr. (Myrtaceae) under varying seed storage duration
S. polycephaloides or lipote is native in the Philippines that needs protection and conservation due to its usefulness and is considered as vulnerable and endangered. However, no studies were conducted about the effect of seed storage in germination and survival of S. polycephaloides. The study aimed to address this gap and study the impact of […]
Evaluation of the germination and development potential of cashew seeds in nursery in Benin
Cashew is an important crop worldwide and its production contributes to the economic development of producing countries. In order to evaluate the evaluation of the germination and development potential of cashew seeds in nursery in Benin, an experiment has been set up in the Ketou municipality. The objective was to improve the agronomic performance of […]
Germination and seedling growth of Moringa oleifera, Moringa stenopetala and Phaseolus vulgaris grown in polluted soil amended with coal fly ash
A germination test was carried out to identify plants that can germinate and survive in polluted soil (with and without ash) collected 2.5km east and 2.5km west, 20km west and 55km west (control) of the BCL Cu/Ni mine smelter in Selebi-Phikwe, Botswana. The experiment was carried out using Phaseolus vulgaris, Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala. […]
Effect of plant extracts on important fungal pathogens and germination of tomato seed
The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of ethanolic extracts of seven spices against selected soil and seed-borne fungal pathogens that affect tomato as well as the effect of their concentrations on the germination of tomato seed. Bioactive compounds from clove, cinnamon, black pepper, turmeric, ginger, cardamom and lemongrass were extracted […]
