Abstract

Priming the seeds with plant nutrients containing solutions is economically feasible and easy way of preventing plants from future nutrient deficiency problems by enriching seed nutrition content; therefore, it has been commonly used in the last decades. Seeds of barley (Hordeum vulgare L., Tokak 157/57) and common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., Esperia) were kept in priming solutions containing phosphorus (P), copper sulphate (Cu) and zinc sulphate (Zn) in different concentrations for 10 h and washed in pure water then dried back to the initial moisture content. The chemical compositions of seeds were analysed and then the efficiency tests of priming practices were conducted in completely randomised design pot experiment with three replications. There were priming-induced increases in seeds up to 10.5, 13.4 and 1.61 fold for Cu, Zn and P respectively. The treatments resulted in an increase in the 50% emergence time. Phosphorus treatment (3%) reduced the germination rate by 33% comparing with the control. Seedling nutrient concentrations on the subject were positively responded to nutri-priming treatments. Therefore, these priming techniques could be used to improve seedling’s nutrient contents to better perform in the preceding growth stages.

Bakır, Çinko ve Fosfor İçerikli Priming Uygulamalarının Buğday ve Arpada Tohum ve Fide İçeriği Üzerine Etkileri

Abstract

Bitki besin içerikli priming uygulamaları ile tohumun zenginleştirilmesi bitkilerin yetişme döneminde karşılaşılacak mineral madde eksikliğinin giderilmesi için ekonomik ve uygulaması kolay bir yöntemdir ve son yıllarda yoğun olarak kullanılmaktadır. Arpa (Hordeum vulgare L., Tokak 157/57) ve ekmeklik buğday (Triticum aestivum L., Esperia) tohumları farklı konsantrasyonlardaki fosfor (P), bakır (Cu) ve çinko (Zn) içerikli priming çözeltilerinde 10 saat boyunca bekletilmiş ve saf suda yıkanarak önceki nem içeriğine kadar geri kurutulmuştur. Kurutulan tohumlar analiz edilmiş ve üç tekerrürlü olarak saksılara ekim yapılmıştır. Priming işlemi tohumdaki Cu, Zn ve P içeriklerini sırasıyla 10.5, 13.4 ve 1.61 kat artırmıştır. Uygulamalar % 50 çıkış süresini artırmıştır. Fosfor uygulaması (% 3), çimlenme oranını kontrole kıyasla % 33 oranında azaltmıştır. Ön uygulama fide besin içeriklerini olumlu yönde etkilemiştir. Yöntem ilk büyüme dönemlerinde fide besin içeriklerini artırdığı için fide performansını geliştirmek için kullanılabilir.
