Effect of vermicompost on yield and seed mucilage content of Plantago psyllium

Effect of vermicompost on yield and seed mucilage content of Plantago psyllium

This research was conducted to investigating of effect of different vermicompost substitutions (0, 25, 50, 75%) on yield and seed mucilage content of Plantago psyllium in a greenhouse experiments. In reproductive phase, spike number per plant, seeds number per spike, thousand seed weight, seed yield and seed mucilage properties were recorded. Results showed that 25% vermicompost substitution promoted the highest seed number per spike and thousand seed weight but the highest number of spikes per ...

The Effect of Priming on Seed Performance of Canola (Brassica napus L.) Under Drought Stress

The Effect of Priming on Seed Performance of Canola (Brassica napus L.) Under Drought Stress

Abstract: In order to investigate the effect of priming on canola seed performance under drought stress a studywas carried out at the Seed Research Laboratory of Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran. The experiment was afactorial with three factors arranged in a completely randomized design with three replications. The first factorwas seed priming (control (untreated), KNO and distilled water), the second was 3 drought stress levels (0.0, -0.3,-0.6, -0.9, -1.2 and -1.5 MPa) and the third was ...

Does Priming Improve Seed Performance under Salt and Drought Stress

Does Priming Improve Seed Performance under Salt and Drought Stress

ABSTRACTSeed priming is a pre-sowing strategy for improving seed performance during germination andfield performance. During priming seeds are partially hydrated so that pre-germination activitiesproceed but radical protrusion will be prevented. Thus, when seeds are sown in the field, they cangerminate and emerge sooner. Drought and salinity are two main factors limiting crops growth anddevelopment worldwide. In this paper the potential effects of priming for improving seedperformance under ...
