The introduction of nanoparticles into seed germination and seedling growth of plants might have a significant impact and thus, it can be used for agricultural applications for better growth and yield. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of silica and silver nanoparticles on seed germination and early growth traits as well as percent and rate of germination, root length, shoot ...

The effect of scarification and stratification treatments on germination seedling vigour fresh teak drupes was investigated. were subjected to the following viz., control, acid (500 mL/kg drupe) for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 60 min. Cold 40 days at 5o C. Warm 40o treated control sown in sand filled earthen pots placed direct sunlight assessing germination. experiment conducted a Completely ...

introduction legumes are the most important source of vegetable protein supply. mungbean (vigna radiate (l.) wilczek) produces seeds contain 22-25 percent protein and high nutritional value for human and also is a major source of protein in most modern societies. rapid seed germination and emergency, is an important factor determining the ultimate yield of the plant. salinity is the most import...

Drought is one of the limiting factors for better plant performance and higher yield. New variety selection is difficult due to the complex mechanism of drought resistance. Four Bulgarian soybean lines (selected after hybridization and mutagenesis), two Indian and one USA variety were used for field and laboratory experiments. Drought tolerance was estimated in irrigated and non-irrigated condi...

to study the effect of salinity stress on seed germination and seedling growth of four medicinal plants, nigella sativa l., cannabis sativa l., trigonella foenum graecum and cynara scolymus l. an experiment was conducted in the botany laboratory of islamic azad university, birjand branch. a completely randomized design (crd) with 3 replications was used as separately for each species. treatment...

Invitro antimycotic effect of the coconut, mustard, groundnut & soyabeen oils and the seeds of trigonella, ajwoin, mustard and garlic bulbs were mixed in the above oil samples to determine their effect on the spore germination of five pathogenic fungi i.e., Aspergillus niger, A.flavus, Absidia corymbifera, Penicilium nigricans and Candida albicans, isolated from otitic fungal infection of exter...

this study was conducted to compare the methods of seed bedpreparation in rangelands of khash region in sistan and baluchestan province iniran. a split plot design was conducted based on randomized complete blockdesign with three replications in 1999. five seed bed preparation methods wereused as main plot as: 1) seed sown by passing livestock. 2) seed sown machinery.3) seeds sown as drilled in...

It has been shown that passage through a bird's gut the potential to alter seed germinability (overall percent germination) and timing of germination. However, little is known about avian germination response seeds abiotic gradients, such as light availability. Specifically, it unclear whether makes more or less sensitive variability in light. We addressed this issue using growth chamber experi...
