EFFECT OF SOAKING WITH GIBBERELLIN IN SOME GERMINATION TRAIT OF FUNNEL SEEDS

Abstract

A laboratory experiment was carried out in laboratory of filed crops- University Of Anabr (Abu-Gharaib) in order to study effect of Funnel seed soaking with gibberellin. The experiment included three GA concentration (0, 100, 200 mg L-1) as well as dry seed. Germination ratio, germination velocity, radical and pulmule length were tested. The experiment conducted in completely randomized design (CRD). The results were summarized as following: -Soaking with GA showed significant effect in all studied traits, Concentration of 200 mg L-1 of GA gave highest average of germination ratio (88.73%), germination velocity (1.31 seed day-1) and radical and pulmule length (2.71 and 6.35) respectively.
