In order to investigate the influence of sulfur coated seeds in SCS (a moisture absorbent polymer layer on seeds) on physiological traits of cotton, a field experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with factorial arrangement with 3 replications. Three planting date included early (E), optimum (O), and delayed (D) planting time. Seed coating priming treatments consisted of F (fuz...

BACKGROUND: Azospirillum is effective in biostabilization of nitrogen and Pseudomonas is effective in dissolving soil phosphorus. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to assess effect of different level of nitrogen and biofertilizer on seed yield, its components and protein content. METHODS: This research was carried out via spilt plot fac...

this study aimed at determining the effect of domestic synthesized polymer on germination and growth of sugar beet seedling in laboratory, greenhouse, and field. the study was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications at sugar beet seed institute, karaj, iran in 2010-2012. the treatments were uncoated (control) and coated seed with foreign polymer, and also seve...

Chitosan was modified with sodium hydroxide and polymerized in water with plant growth regulators, microfertilizer and other additives to give a novel environmentally friendly seed coating agent for rice. The results showed the seed coating agent has obvious biological effect through the germination test, bacteriostasis test, toxicological security test and field experiment. Compared with the t...

Drought stress influences seed germination and seedling growth of many plants. Seed coating is technique of covering seeds with adhesive agents to improve seed performance and plant establishment and could be used to alleviate the negative effects of osmotic stress. In order to solve the problem of low germination and poor vigor of sweet corn under osmotic stress conditions (0, -0.3, -0.6 and -...
