Abstract:

Early seedling vigour is an important trait in direct seeded rice which determines the growth and yield. It is a complex trait and is found to be associated with germination and seedling growth. The rice genotypes, BPT 5204 and PB 1850-27 were screened for early seedling vigour traits and the data was recorded on germination percentage, root length, shoot length, seedling length, seedling fresh weight and seedling dry weight. The seedling vigour index I and seedling vigour index II were calculated for both the genotypes. It was observed that seedling vigour index I and II was found higher in P

<strong>Abstract</strong> This research was conducted to investigate the effects of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation on seedling emergence and seedling growth parameters of cowpea seeds. The UV-C radiation treatments at different exposure times (0, 30, 60, 180 and 300 minutes) on the seeds were applied by using a ST 51 G/W 51UV tube with a wavelength of about 254nm. The control and UV-C treated seeds were sown in plastic boxes filled with experimental soil and incubated at optimum conditions.

Abstract Seven preemergence herbicides, atrazine, metolachlor, napropamide, oryzalin, oxadiazon, oxyfiuorfen, and simazine, were screened for phytotoxic effects on newly planted black alder seedlings. All treatments containing atrazine significantly reduced seedling survival, as did simazine treatments greater than 3.4 kg/ha. The simazine rate of 3.4 kg/ha, the napropamide rate of 26.9 kg/ha, and metolachlor rates greater than 3.4 kg/ha temporarily stunted seedling height growth early in the first growing season. Temporary stunting was also observed for the highest rates of the granular and em

The importance of evergreen oak species is increasing due to changes in the ecosystem caused by climate change and environmental changes such as fine dust and carbon dioxide.

For seedling propagation of evergreen oak, the effect of oak seed coat (pericarp and testa) removal on germination and seedling growth as well as the effect of potting soil and irrigation cycle on seedling quality were investigated.

Abstract:

Avicennia marina (Forssk.)

We conducted a study to evaluate the specific growth requirements of A. marina, i.e., medium and salinity level. Germinated seeds were transplanted to pots filled with media, i.e., silt loam (M1), loam (M2), sandy loam (M3), or sand (M4), with various salinity levels 5 (S1), 5–15 (S2), 15–25 (S3), or 25–35 ppt (S4).

Abstract:

The quantity and quality of seedlings in the nursery has an impact on the success of re-establishment and later growth. High germination rates enable a sufficient number of seedlings, and their quality is assessed using a number of parameters, including seedling height and root collar diameter. These parameters are influenced in some species by seed size, but the correlation between them is species-specific. The model species in this research was sweet chestnut (Castaneasativa Mill.), and seeds from 12 populations from two distinct biogeographical regions of Croatia were collected. We examined
