This study aims to evaluate the phytotoxicity effect in Erythrophleum suaveolens leaves extracts on germination and growth of Oba 98, super 6, Samaz 52 Sanaz 37 maize seeds varieties obtained from Abuja, Nigeria. The were subjected treatment with exposure methanol water extract E. different concentrations 100, 10 1% respectively. A control group was set up without treatment. Both treated untrea...

Background: In rainfed agriculture, lentil is considered an important legume crop. But in conditions adequate soil moisture condition a major obstacle that leads to reduced germination per cent, slow down growth of the seedlings and finally reduction yield. Seed priming alternative which can improve percentage seedling establishment lentil. Methods: The present work, deals with (Lens culinaris ...

Beta vulgaris belongs to the family Amaranthaceae and was found to have halophytic ancestors. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of sodium chloride on seed germination, therefore the early stages of seedling growth of Beta vulgaris grown under different salinity levels (0, 100, 150 and 200 mM of NaCl) were studied. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized de...

the present experiments is deciding to study the effect of hematite and volcanic ash on growth and physiological traits in sorghum factorial in a randomized complete design with  treatments and replications treatments consisted of volcanic ash concentrations (0, 0.25 and 0.5 g), hematite at three concentrations (0, 0.25 and 0.5 g), respectively. the results showed that the largest radicle and p...

germination stage is an important stage of plant growth stage that often is affected by environmental stress including water and salinity stresses including drought and salinity. in order to study germination characteristics of scrophularia striatain water and salinity stress conditions at different temperatures an experiment was conducted. temperatures regimes included 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 an...

Metal nanoparticles have many positive effects in improving crop production and productivity allow for increased germination rapid establishment under field conditions. The metallic applied this study were copper oxide (CuONPs) biosynthesized using orange peel (Citrus X sinensis) as a reducing agent to avoid or reduce toxicity wheat seeds sprouts. This determined the effect of CuONPs on germina...

In this study, the effect of seed priming using ascorbic acid (ASA) on three commercial wheat cultivars i.e., Punjab-2011, Faisalabad-2008, and Ujala-2016 under salinity stress in both homogenous heterogeneous environments has been investigated. It revealed that different levels have significantly reduced growth attributes like percent germination, germination index, radical & plumule length, v...

Seedling establishment is a most critical stage that determined the crop production at later stages. An in vitro investigation was carried out Laboratory of Department Plant Breeding and Genetics, Sri Karan Narendra College Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) Rabi season 2016-17 to study response fenugreek genotypes for their germination early seedling parameters under five salt stress levels viz. ...
