Ultra-Sonic Sound Applications Used in Seed Viability, Seedling Growth and Plant Development of Ornamentals

Abstract

Ultra-sonic sound, acoustic waves generated from frequencies in the ranges (20-100 kHz) that cannot be heard by the human ear, which interact with substances, are extensively used in agricultural industry. In recent years, ultra-sonic sound has gained great attention as a technology to stimulate germination with many examples reported in literature on seeds. In this review, sound and its mechanism, the effects of ultra-sonic sound applications on seed and plant growth and development are briefly presented. The main purpose of the review is to examine the effects of ultra-sonic sound applications on seed germination of ornamental plant species in detail and to present the use and potential of ultra-sonic sound applications in ornamental plants. Although ultra sound wave technology has a long history, it remains up-to-date with the continuous development, modification and expansion of the technology used. This review would help to contribute drawing attention to the inclusion of this current technology in the production of ornamental plant species.

Süs Bitkilerinin Tohum Çimlenmesi, Fide Büyümesi ve Gelişiminde Kullanılan Ultrasonik Ses Uygulamaları

Abstract

Ultrasonik ses, insan kulağının duyamayacağı (20-100 kHz) frekanslarda üretilen, maddelerle etkileşime giren akustik dalgalar, tarım endüstrisinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Son yıllarda ultrasonik ses, tohumlarla ilgili literatürde bildirilen birçok örnekle çimlenmeyi teşvik eden bir teknoloji olarak büyük ilgi görmüştür. Bu derlemede ses ve mekanizması, ultrasonik ses uygulamalarının tohum ve bitki büyüme ve gelişimine etkileri kısaca sunulmuştur. Derlemenin temel amacı, süs bitkisi türlerinin tohum çimlenmesi üzerine ultrasonik ses uygulamalarının etkilerini detaylı olarak incelemek ve süs bitkilerinde ultrasonik ses uygulamalarının kullanım ve potansiyelini ortaya koymaktır. Ultra ses dalgası teknolojisi uzun bir geçmişe sahip olmasına rağmen, kullanılan teknolojinin sürekli gelişimi, modifikasyonu ve genişlemesi ile güncelliğini korumaktadır. Bu derleme, süs bitkisi türlerinin üretimine bu güncel teknolojinin dahil edilmesine dikkat çekilmesine katkıda bulunacaktır.
