Seed germination of pea by seed treatment with mo nanoparticles

Abstract

Article highlights the results of research of the effect of pre-sowing seed treatment with molybdenum nanoparticles solution on the process of germination of pea variety NS Moroz and determination of the optimal concentration of molybdenum solution, which has an maximal positive effect on growth processes during germination. The research was conducted in the Educational-Scientific Laboratory Demonstration Collection Field of Crops of the Department of Plant Science of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Field and laboratory experiments were performed according to proven methods. Germination energy, germination and measurements of biometric parameters were determined. Water solution with molybdenum concentration of 1:100 provided the highest seed germination at the level of 99%, which has a positive effect in cultivation of peas, so field germination should also increase. The solution with Mo concentration of 1:10 had a positive effect on the length of the embryonic root of pea. It increased in length by 1.9 cm compare to control variant. Highest raw mass was formed by the treatment with Mo solution in concentration 1:100. This variant increased raw mass in stem by 0.06 g and 0.24 g in root system compare to control.
