Effects of seed treatment with different agents on the germinating capacity and strong seedling in Wax gourd
Journal Title: 广东农业科学 - Year 2018, Vol 45, Issue 10
Abstract
In order to improve the seed germination ability and cultivate strong seedlings of small gourd, the seed of Wax gourd were treated by different concentrations of KNO3, CaCl2, GA3, 6-BA and several combination of medicaments. The results showed that all the treatments can promote seed germination, and improve germination energy and germination percentage. Compared to the control, treatment with KNO3 4 g/L , CaCl2 1 g/L , GA3 300 mg/L, 6-BA 100 mg/L and 6-BA 50 mg/L + KNO3 500 mg/L improve the germination energy by 54.66%, 37.34%, 40.00%, 48.00% and 48.00%, and improve the germination percentage by 21.69%, 13.20%, 20.74%, 16.98% and 26.40%, respectively. Taken strong seedling factors into consideration, including leaf area, hypocotyls length and root length, the treatment of 6-BA 50 mg/L+KNO3 500 mg/L presented the best results, followed by KNO3 4 g/L treatment.
