The Effect of Salinity (NaCl) Stress and Different Magnetic Applications on The Germination of Cucumber Seeds (Cucumis sativus L.)

Abstract

Tuzluluk stresi, tohum çimlenmesini ve bitki büyümesini sınırlayan ana faktörlerden biridir. Bu nedenle tohum çimlenmesine olumlu etkisi olduğu için manyetik su kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, tuzluluk (NaCl) Stresi ve farklı manyetik uygulamaların hıyar (Cucumis sativus L.) tohumlarının çimlenmesi üzerine etkisi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine göre üç tekerrürlü yürütülmüştür. Bu çalışma, beş farklı manyetik uygulama (MT1, MT2, MT3, MT4 ve MT5) manyetik ortamdan sırasıyla 1, 2, 3, 5 ve 8 defa geçirilmiş su ve manyetik olmayan (NMT) uygulamasının hıyar tohumlarının (Cucumis sativus L.) tuzluluk stresi (S1 = 0.38 dSm-1, S2 = 4.0 dSm-1, S3 = 8.0 dSm-1) altında çimlenmesine etkisini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonunda, su tuzluluğu stresindeki artış son çimlenme yüzdesi (FGP), çimlenme yüzdesi 4. gün (GP), çimlenme indeksi (GI), çimlenme hızı katsayısı (CVG) ve çimlenme oranı indeksinde (GRI) azalmaya neden olduğu göstermiştir. Bununla beraber ortalama çimlenme süresinde (MGT) artış görülmüştür. FGP, GP, GI, CVG ve GRI'nin en yüksek değerleri S1'de iken, S3'te (8.0 dSm-1) S1'e (0.38 dSm-1) göre sırasıyla %7.8, %10.0, %15.8, %2.4 ve %16.2 azalmıştır. Manyetik olan sulama suyu kullanıldığında FGP, GP, GI, CVG ve GRI'inde bir artışa neden olmuş ve manyetik olmayan sulama suyunun NMT olması durumunda ise azalmalar olduğu görülmüştür. En yüksek FGP değerleri %92.20 S1 tuzluluk (0.38 dSm-1) ile MT4 konusunda, en düşük FGP değeri %72.20 su tuzluluğu S3 (8.0 dSm-1) ile NMT konusunda belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, manyetik su uygulamasının hıyar tohumlarının çimlenmesini olumlu etkilediğini ve tuzluluk stresinin tohumların çimlenmesini azalttığını göstermiştir. Çalışma sonucuna göre, hıyar tohumlarının en iyi çimlenmesini sağlamak için MT4 (manyetikten 5 defa geçirilmiş su) uygulanması önerilmiştir.

The Effect of Salinity (NaCl) Stress and Different Magnetic Applications on The Germination of Cucumber Seeds (Cucumis sativus L.)

Abstract

Salinity stress is one of the main factors that limit seed germination and plant growth. Therefore, magnetic water was used because it had a positive effect on seed germination. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of magnetic (MT1, MT2, MT3, MT4, and MT5) treatment of water passing through magnets 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 times respectively, and non-magnetic (NMT) treatment on the germination of cucumber seeds (Cucumis sativus L.) under salinity stress (NaCl) (S1 = 0.38 dSm-1, S2 = 4.0 dSm-1, S3 = 8.0 dSm-1). The experiment was conducted by the design of a one-way ANOVA with three replications. The results showed that water salinity stress a significantly decrease in the final germination percentage (FGP), germination index (GI), coefficient of the velocity of germination (CVG), germination percentage 4th day (GP), and germination rate index (GRI), while the mean germination time (MGT) increased significantly. In addition, the FGP, GP, GI, CVG, and GRI were significantly increased and the MGT was significantly decreased when using magnetic water compared to non-magnetic water. The highest values of FGP, GP, GI, CVG, and GRI were at S1 while they decreased by 7.8%, 10.0%, 15.8%, 2.4% and 16.2%, respectively in S3 (8.0 dSm-1), compared to S1 (0.38 dSm-1). The highest FGP values of 92.20% at MT4 were obtained with S1 salinity (0.38 dSm-1) and the lowest FGP value of 72.20% at NMT with water salinity S3 (8.0 dSm-1). The results of the research showed that magnetic water treatment has a positive effect on the germination of cucumber seeds and that salinity stress reduced the germination of seeds. Finally, it can be recommended to apply MT4 (water passed through the magnetic 5 times) to achieve the best germination of cucumber seeds.
