Effect of Nanopriming on emergence and seedling characteristics in parsley seeds

Abstract

This study aims to prevent problems encountered by farmers during parsley cultivation and to determine the effectiveness of nanotechnology-based treatments, which are considered a new approach to sustainable agricultural practices. A total of 16 treatments were used in the study: a control and priming treatments (hydropriming, zinc priming, and zinc oxide nanopriming) with and without additives. After the treatments, the seeds were planted in the field. While the emergence rate of the control group was 18% at 45 days after planting, the highest emergence rate among treatments was 36% for the ferula-doped nanopriming treatments. Based on seedling measurements, it was observed that ferula- and magnesium-doped nanopriming treatments had a positive effect on seedling quality. When the yield calculation of the treatments under field conditions was performed, it was determined that the zinc oxide-doped, Ferula-doped, and magnesium-doped nanopriming treatments had the highest harvest efficiency.
