The effects of vermicompost products on the germination of the seeds of some forest trees and shrubs
Abstract
It is necessary to pre-treat the seeds in order to overcome the germination inhibition. In addition to this pre-treatment, germination inhibition should be overcome in vitro conditions. In this study, the seeds of Robinia pseudoacacia L, Pinus nigra J.F Arnold, Pinus sylvestris L, Acer negundo L, Capparis sipinosa L and Lycium europaeum L were treated with various concentrations of vermicompost tea for germination. It was observed that the seeds incubated for four weeks had better germination than those not in the vermicompost environment. Vermicompost and its products, which affect germination positively, have been proved to be both practical and useful product that can be used in nursery studies.
