Effects of different pre-Sowing treatments on germination of Peltophorum africanum Sond seeds from two provenances in Botswana

A germination study of Peltophorum africanum seeds was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Crop Science and Production, Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources from May to June 2017. Seeds were collected from Butale and Gaborone to assess effect of pre-sowing treatments on germination. The experiment followed a completely randomized design (CRD) […]

Effect of seed soaking with fertigrain start (amino acid fertilizer) and irrigation levels on germination, growth and yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

The field study was conducted to investigate the effect of seed soaking with Fertigrain start (amino acid fertilizer) and moisture stress on germination, growth and yield of barley crop. The results showed that application of Fertigrain Start (amino acid fertilizer) for soaking of seed at different concentrations affected the growth and yield traits of barley […]

Effect of aqueous extracts of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis L.) on germination and seedling growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Allelo-chemicals produced from leaves, roots, bark, fruits and seeds of many plants influence the growth and germination of another adjacent plant. A lab experiment was conducted to study the allelopathic effect of aqueous extracts of Eucalyptus leaves (Eucalyptus camaldulensis L.) on germination percentage and seedlings of three varieties of wheat. Experiment was laid out in […]

In vitro germination and seedling development of tunisian caper (Capparis spinosa L.)

Capparis spinosa L. (Capparaceae) is a perennial tropical and subtropical shrub plant known worldwide. Despite the increasing demand and economic importance of capers, little information is available regarding the propagation of this shrub. In fact, it is usually propagated by seed, but its percentage of germination is very low. In this report, in vitro seed […]

Incidence of seedborne mycoflora and their effects on germination of maize seeds

A laboratory experiment was conducted with maize seed samples collected from four maize growing districts viz. Bogra, Gaibandha, Rangpur and Mymensingh of Bangladesh following blotter method. Nine species of fungi namely Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Alternaria alternata, Bipolaris maydis, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium oxysporum, F. moniliforme, Penicillium oxalicum and Rhizopus stolonifer were identified. Among the species, […]
