Effect of different chemical agents and GA_3 on the germination of Echinochloa crus-galli
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: The objective of this study was to find the best method of stimulating germination of Echinochloa crus-galli seed.Effect of different chemical agents,NaOH,HCl,H2O2,KNO3 and gibberellin on the germination of Echinochloa crus-galli seed was studied.Results showed that seeds immersed in NaOH with 1.5% concentration for 24 h obtain germination of 94.67%,which was significantly higher than that of control(6.67%).While other chemical agents such as HCl,H2O2 and KNO3enhanced germination of Echinochloa crus-galli seed to some extent,germination was under 30%.And GA3 with a concentration of 800 mg/L also has better effect on germination(80%).
