Abstract

The research was carried out as a pot in an open field (June 16 - July 24) at Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture experiments area in 2020. In the study, Partow variety as a large seed, 70 E 07 genotype as a medium size and 70 S 07 genotype as a small seed were used as seed material. According to the seed sizes (large, medium and small), the mung beans were planted in 2, 4 and 6 cm depths with 25 seeds in each pot. It is consisted of potting soil, field soil and peat (3:1) and the research was established to completely randomized plot design with three replications. In the study, germination (germination rate, germination index, mean germination time) and seedling characteristics (seedling and root length, seedling and root dry weight, above ground dry weight/total dry weight ratio) were examined. According to obtained data; while small and medium seeds characteristics germination ratio and index, root length with above ground dry weight/total dry weight ratio (medium), root dry weight and above ground dry weight (small) characteristics; large seeds have superior in mean germination time with seedling lentgh. In terms of seed depth, When germination and seedling characteristics examined, 2 and 4 cm seed depth obtained values were maximum. As a result, germination and seedling characteristics of mung bean seeds with different grain sizes were affected by planting depths. In mung bean cultivation, it has been determined that if seeds of different sizes are sown at a depth of 2-4 cm and in terms of germination and seedling growth characteristics, superior plants can be obtained.
