| Abstract | ||
| An experiment was conducted in lath house at the college of Agriculture ,Kerbala University during the growing season of 2012 to study the effect of stratification and seaweed extract on peach seed germination and seeding growth. Three replicates were used for each treatment .The stratification was used at three levels 0,30,45 day and three levels of seaweed extract 0,150,300 ml/L . The seeds were stratification at two intervals ,1/1/2012 and 15/1/2012 and planted at 15/12/2012 .Germination results were recorded after 60 days vegetative growth characters were measured after 60 days from planting time at 15/4/2012 .The experiment was conducted according to the completely Randomized Desgin(C.R.D).and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was based on the least significant difference (P=0.05). Results showed that :- 1- seed stratification for 45 day significantly surpassed all other treatments regarding all studied growth characters (seeds germination ,length of seedling ,stem diameter , number of leaves , rate leaf area and chlorophyll content in leaves) , at this treatment reached 86.7,26.4cm/seedling,2.2mm,27.3leaf/seedling,9.9cm²/seedling and 34.0SPAD repectively 2- Seed treated with 300 ml/L seaweed concentration significantly surpassed all other concentrations regarding all studied growth characters (seed germination , length of seedling, stem diameter, number of leaves, rate leaf area and chlorophyll content in leaves),at this concentration reached 57.8,17.8cm/seedling, 1.4mm, 17.3 leaf/seedling, 6.4 cm²/seedling and 22.9 SPAD respectively. 3- The interaction between stratification and seaweed extract had significant effects on the most characters of growth including seed germination , length of seedling, stem diameter , number of leaves and rate leaf area, however , the only no significant effect of this interaction was notice on chlorophyll content of leaves. | ||
