Effects of Marigold and Rose Flowers Herbal Teas Priming Treatments on Germination and Emergence of Pepper Seed
Abstract
In this study, pepper seeds (cv. Yalova çarliston) were primed with herbal teas of dried
petals of marigolds (Tagetes erecta and Tagetes patula) and oil rose (Rosa damascena) at 15ºC for 32
hours in a bubble column. Dry seeds were used as control. Standard germination (25ºC), low
temperature stress (15ºC), emergence test in sand and also seedling quality parameters were
determined at control and primed seeds. According to results, the treatments were significantly
affected the normal seedlings percentage, mean germination time and seedling length, while the
treatments were not effective on germination and abnormal seedling percentage in standard
germination test. The highest normal seedling percentage was obtained from T. erecta herbal tea as
94.5% and the lowest normal seedling percentage obtained from control as 90.0%. Mean germination
time decreased in primed seeds between 0.4 and 0.8 days compared with control. Herbal teas
significantly increased seedling length and the highest length was determined from T. patula herbal
tea as 12.4 cm. Similar results were obtained from low temperature (15oC) germination and
emergence in sand as in standard germination test. The effects of priming treatments on seedling
quality were not significant. As a result, it can be said that further researches are needed to use
marigold and oil rose petals herbal teas as an organic priming agent for pepper seeds.
