Results of use of aqueous solution of corn extract as a growth stimulant in germination of triticale seeds

Abstract

In the process of looking for ways to diversify the implementation into the production of secondary raw materials, a laboratory experiment was performed, the purpose of which was to determine whether the product of deep processing of corn, liquid corn extract, is suitable as a source of nutrients for seed germination. For this experiment, a winter cereal fodder crop was chosen - triticale (variety Tikhon). In a solution of corn extract with a concentration of 3 ml/l, triticale showed the best indicators of germination energy and germination compared to the control, which provides a perspective to study the application of this raw material as a natural biostimulator or a component of organic biofertilizer. According to biometric indicators, the seeds of winter triticale showed themselves better in the variant with a concentration of corn extract of 3 ml/l. In the variant with a concentration of corn extract of 5 ml/l, inhibition along the length of the roots is noticeable. The length of the sprout in two experimental variants is higher than in the control.
