Influence of seed pre-treatment and temperatures during germination of four seed lots of Festulolium

Blog Article

A species called Festulolium was created in the middle of the last century by crossing two genuses: Lolium and Festuca.This was followed by Cribs a period of research on Festulolium from the aspect of genetics and breeding, seed production, cultivation, technology and use.We conducted various pre-treatment impact studies on Festulolium seeds: i) cooling at 5-7 o C for 3 days, ii) application of KNO3 on seed germination medium, and the third pre-treatment was control, without pre-treatment (iii).

After pre-treatment (i, ii, iii), seed germination have examined at the following temperature regimes (provided by the seed quality regulations): 20 o C (dark); alternately 20o C/ 30o C (light /dark); and 30 o C (dark).The tests were performed on four seed lots Dishwasher Drain Hose of the variety Peron, in four replicates.The germination temperature of 30 o C reduced germination and increased dead seed and abnormal germination in all pre-treatments.

The variant without the application of pre-treatment had a significantly lower overall germination in the assessment of Festulolium seed quality.Seed lots showed a high influence on the Festulolium seed quality.
