Abstract
Pots experiment was conducted at Grdarash Research Station–Collage of Agriculture – University of Salahaddin / Erbil. during sowing season 2014 to study the effect of seed invigoration solution KNO3 and ZnSO4 at different concentration 0.2. 0.5. 0.7٪. tap water and control treatment on the two seed groups (non-aged seed and aged seed) and socking of seed for 3 hr. then dried for 12 hr. the results showed that superiority of non-aged seed in all studied characters and KNO3 at 0.7٪ had significant effect on the characters. germination speed. main root and shoot length. seedling vigor index. Fresh weight of root and shoot as well as there was found interaction among imbibition solutions and seed groups. The aged seed treated with ZnSO4 0.5٪ was superior at germination seed. while the aged and non-aged seed treated with water and different concentration of KNO3 recorded increase in main root length.
