Effects of silver nanoparticle exposure on germination of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
An investigation carried to examine the effects of Silver Nanoparticle on germination parameters of lentil seeds such as germination index, root long, shoot long, fresh mass and dry mass under control condition. The study was carried out in a randomized block design with three replications. Five levels of silver nanoparticles (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 µg mL-1) were used. Germination percentage did not affect significantly amongst the various treatments. Lentil seedling under Silver Nanoparticle recorded significantly higher root length, shoot length, Dry Mass and speed of germination over control. Mean germination time was also recorded significantly lower under nano particles treatment than control. The results showed that the effect of AgNPs was significant on germination percentage in P ≤ 0.05. The results of this experiment showed that the use of AgNPs increased the germination in lentil.
