Perendaman Benih Melon Dengan PGPR Pseudomonas sp. dan Bacillus sp. di Dusun Ngadilegi Utara, Kecamatan Pandaan, Kabupaten Pasuruan

Ngadilegi Utara Hamlet is one of the hamlets in Plinlahan Village, Pandaan District, Pasuruan Regency which has large potential land for cultivating plants. Farmers in Ngadilegi Hamlet grow many crop commodities, one of which is melons. Melon (Cucumis melo L) is an annual fruit plant originating from the Persian Hot Valley or the Mediterranean region which is the border between West Asia, Europe and Africa. Melon plants are a type of pumpkin plant which is in the same family as watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumber. One effort to increase melon production in North Ngadilegi Hamlet can be done by good development and correct cultivation technology and supported by the use of new technology, namely the use of bacteria contained in PGPR. Soaking seeds with PGPR aims to ensure that the bacteria contained in PGPR are able to colonize the seeds as early as possible. Proper long soaking treatment of seeds can increase plant yields because bacteria will bind to the seed coat and imbibition into the seeds.

Picarbutrazox Effectiveness Added to a Seed Treatment Mixture for Management of Oomycetes that Impact Soybean in Ohio.

None of the current oomycota fungicides are effective towards all species of Phytophthora, Phytopythium, Globisporangium, and Pythium that affect soybean seed and seedlings in Ohio. Picarbutrazox is a new oomyceticide with a novel mode of action towards oomycete pathogens. Our objectives were to evaluate picarbutrazox to determine (i) baseline sensitivity (EC50) to 189 isolates of 29 species, (ii) the efficacy with a base seed treatment with three cultivars with different levels of resistance in 14 field environments; and (iii) if the rhizosphere microbiome was affected by the addition of the seed treatment on a moderately susceptible cultivar. The mycelial growth of all isolates was inhibited beginning at 0.001 μg, and the EC50 ranged from 0.0013 to 0.0483 μg of active ingredient (a.i.)/ml. The effect of seed treatment was significantly different for plant population and yield in eight of 14 and six of 12 environments, respectively. The addition of picarbutrazox at 1 and 2.5 g of a.i./100 kg seed to the base seed treatment compared to the base alone was associated with higher plant populations and yield in three and one environments, respectively. There was limited impact of the seed treatment mefenoxam 7.5 g of a.i. plus picarbutrazox 1 g of a.i./100 kg seed on the oomycetes detected in the rhizosphere of soybean seedlings collected at the V1 growth stage. Picarbutrazox has efficacy towards a wider range of oomycetes that cause disease on soybean, and this will be another oomyceticide tool to combat early season damping-off in areas where environmental conditions highly favor disease development.

Non-thermal plasma (NTP) treatment of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. seeds stimulates the sprout growth and the production of nutraceutical compounds

The possibility to stimulate the production of some nutraceutical properties of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) sprouts by non-thermal plasma (NTP) processing of the seeds in different conditions was studied. The non-thermal plasma used in this work was a surface dielectric barrier discharge. Two types of processing were performed: direct NTP treatment and NTP with a cover treatment, to simulate the processing of packaged seeds. For all treatments, the effect of pre-soaking of the seeds was studied as well. The analyses of the seeds after processing indicated an increase of the hydrophilicity of their surface for NTP direct treatment as resulted from the water contact angle measurements, which could be due to the strong etching evidenced by scanning electron microscopy imaging. A significant (p < 0.05) increase of the seedling growth, by up to 50%, was found especially for the pre-soaked seeds. These results were correlated with the increase of chlorophyll pigments concentrations, with higher concentrations in the case of NTP direct treatment than for the NTP with cover treatments. Direct NTP treatment for 30 s of dry seeds led to the highest increase of the flavonoid concentration of about three times compared to that obtained for untreated seeds. For the polyphenols and antioxidant activity, NTP with cover treatments proved to be better, with a significant increase, especially for 90 s treatment of the pre-soaked seeds. All the results indicate the possibility of tuning the nutraceutical properties of fenugreek sprouts by NTP treatment.

Unlocking Growth Potential: Enhancing Salt-Stressed Seed Germination and Seedling Growth with Ga3 Priming in Acacia auriculiformis A.cunn. ex Benth., Delonix regia (Bojer ex Hook.) Raf. and Cassia fistula L.

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is the one of the plant growth regulator which helps plants tolerate salt competently and diminishes the effects of salt stress. The present investigation was done to determine the effect of GA3 on two different Nacl concentrations on seed germination and physiological limits of four fabaceae seeds: Acacia auriculiformis A.Cunn. ex Benth., Delonix regia (Bojer ex Hook.) Raf., Cassia fistula L., and Samanea saman (Jacq.) Merr. Experimentation was directed as a factorial with a completely randomised block design with three replicates. Salinity at two levels (50 mM and 100 mM NaCl) and hormone (GA3 at 150ppm versus no GA3 were the experimental conditions. Therefore, when the salt level was 50 mM NaCl, priming the seeds of these tree seeds with 150 ppm GA3 suggestively increased germination percentage, declined mean germination time, improved physiological parameters of the seeds.

Indukce organogeneze a multiplikace korkovníku amurského (Phellodendron amurense Rupr.) v in vitro podmínkách

Amurk cork tree (Phellodendron amurense Rupr.) is known for its anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, cholagogue, and antibacterial properties, and it is also a potential source of industrial cork. Shoot organogenesis and subsequent plant multiplication of Amur cork tree were established from mature seeds of trees growing on research plots in the Czech Republic. Germination percentage was increased by mechanical disruption of the seed coat, the highest number of germinated plants was achieved within 8–10 weeks of culture on MS medium containing 2 mg.l-1 BAP and 0,2 mg.l-1 NAA. Within 4 weeks of transfer to the multiplication medium containing 2 mg.l-1 BAP and 0,2 mg.l-1 NAA, chlorosis and reduced growth were observed in all cultured microcuttings. Lowering the BAP concentration to 0,4 mg.l-1 led to a resumption of growth, the newly emerging shoots and leaves were vital and the multiplication rate was around 90%. Our developed plant regeneration method may be useful in future studies on ex vitro establishment of in vitro derived plants.

THE EFFECT OF BIOLOGICAL PREPARATIONS ON THE SOWING QUALITIES AND FIELD GERMINATION OF ALFALFA SEEDS

Agriculture has been solving the problem of increasing yields through chemical plant protection products. Their intensive use has led to the need for the biologization of agriculture, which means the production of products using the maximum potential of environmental factors to increase yields without harming the environment. Using seeds with high sowing qualities is the key to obtaining sustainable yields. In this regard, this article presents the results of research on the effect of pre-sowing treatment of alfalfa seeds with Organit P, Organit N, Biodux, Systemica M biopreparations, OrganitN+ OrganitP+Bidux for sowing qualities and field germination. The experiments were carried out in 3-fold repetition, observations were made according to 6 variants of the experiment. Laboratory experiments were conducted according to the methodology for determining the growth strength of seeds of forage crops according to GOST 12038-84. The flow rate of the working fluid for seed treatment was taken at the rate of 1 ml per 100 g of seeds. Germination energy was determined on the 3rd day, and laboratory germination on the 7th day. The scheme of the experiment included a variant without treatment (control) with the treatment of seeds with biological preparations a day before sowing. It was revealed that the treatment of alfalfa seeds with biological preparations improves the indicators characterizing the initial stages of plant growth and development ontogenesis. Regarding germination energy, the highest result was shown by the preparations Systemica M–75,0% and Organit N+ Organit P+ Bidux – 68,5%. Using the Organit N+ Organit P+ Bidux complex of drugs increased laboratory germination to – 81,5% and field germination to – 41,5%.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ПРЕДПОСЕВНОЙ ОБРАБОТКИ СЕМЯН ЭЛЕКТРИЧЕСКИМ ПОЛЕМ НА УРОЖАЙНОСТЬ ЛЬНА-ДОЛГУНЦА И ЯРОВОЙ ПШЕНИЦЫ

Pre-sowing seed treatment is a mandatory agricultural method of increasing yields by increasing the energy and germination of seeds. Laboratory and field tests showed an increase in the yield and quality of flax and spring wheat seeds due to pre-sowing seed treatment with an electric field at the Sadko-1 electrophysical installation. (Research Purpose) The research purpose is selecting the treatment modes (the voltage acting on the seeds with a low-frequency electric field and the resting of the seeds after treatment) that increase the sowing properties of the seeds and yield and determining the economic efficiency of electrophysical technology of pre-sowing seed treatment in the cultivation of flax and spring wheat. (Materials and methods) Three batches of seeds of each crop were treated with an electric field of 2, 4 and 6 kilovolts per centimeter. After resting for 9 days, the seeds were sown into the soil. The field experiment included four options: control (without exposure to an electric field on seeds) and three options corresponding to exposure modes: 2, 4, and 6 kilovolts per centimeter. The area of the registered plot was 50 square meters. During the growth and development of crops, the field germination and preservation of plants before harvesting and the harvest of each plot were determined. (Results and discussion) During laboratory germination of treated seeds, an improvement in seed sowing qualities is observed: energy and germination, increase in the size and weight of seven-day seedlings. It was found that in the process of growth and development of crops, the effect of pre-sowing treatment is manifested in increasing field germination and preservation of plants before harvesting. (Conclusions) Pre-sowing treatment of flax seeds and spring wheat at the Sadko-1 installation contributed to an increase in the yield and quality of straw and flax grain. Economic calculations indicate the high profitability of the proposed technology. Due to processing in the electric field intensity mode of 6 kilovolts per centimeter, additional net profit of 1.87 thousand rubles per hectare was obtained when cultivating flax using mineral fertilizers, without the use of mineral fertilizers - 1.03 thousand rubles per hectare (in 2021 prices). The cost of seed treatment is ~ 50 rubles per hectare. Net profit due to pre-sowing electrophysical processing of wheat at 2 kilovolts per centimeter amounted to 2.86 thousand rubles per hectare. The presented method of seed treatment can be offered to farms as an element of resource-saving technologies, as well as for pre-sowing seed treatment of low sowing conditions.

Effect of pre-sowing treatment of soybean seeds with inoculant and microelements for yield and quality in the conditions of south-east of Kazakhstan

Soybean is a high-protein and at the same time an oilseed crop. Its cultivation brings profit from the sale of seeds and enriches the soil through the activity of nitrogen-fixing plants. The effectiveness of pre-sowing treatment of soybean seeds with a nitrogen-fixing preparation (HiStick© inoculant) in combination with molybdenum and cobalt salts was evaluated at field level from 2019 to 2021 in the conditions of south-east Kazakhstan. The profitability of the crop could be increased by the use of pre-sowing treatment with these micronutrients which are involved in the processes of photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation. The most indicative characteristics for assessing the impact of pre-sowing seed treatment are the accumulation of protein and oil per hectare, since grain yield increased with pre-sowing treatment without changing quality characteristics (expressed as concentrations). Our research showed an increase in protein yield per hectare with pre-sowing treatment. When seeds of the early ripening Ivushka variety were treated with molybdenum and cobalt without HiStick©, protein yield per hectare increased by 8%. When using the HiStick© preparation together with microelements, the protein yield increased by 4.8%, 8.7% and 12.8% for Zhansaya, Lastochka (late-maturing) and Birlik CV varieties respectively. The increase in oil yield after pre-sowing seed treatment for the early-ripening Ivushka variety was 8.8% (complete treatment) and 6.8% for the late-ripening Lastochka variety (with micronutrients only). Therefore the increase of grain protein and oil yields improves the profitability of this crop for a range of soybean varieties.

Effect of Metal Nanoparticles on Photosynthetic and Antioxidant Enzyme Activities of Soybean

This study presents the effects of nanoscale zerovalent cobalt (NZVC) on the photosynthetic activity and expression of genes related to the photosynthetic apparatus as well as the activity of antioxidant enzymes in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr). Treatment of soybean seeds with NZVC solution (at concentrations of 0.17; 0.33 and 100 mg/kg seed) has increased the efficiency of light energy absorbed by photosystem II, improved photosynthetic efficiency, and maintained the function of photosynthetic apparatus when plant growth is reduced by enhancing the value of photosynthetic parameters (Fo, Fm, Fv/Fm, ETR, FPSII) compared with the control. The expression of genes involved in photosynthesis in soybean leaves was changed by growth time and NZVC treatment concentration. The psaA, Lhca, psbA, and psbB genes had increased expression levels at 17 and 32 days after sowing, then decreased at 70 days after sowing. The expression of the psbE, and Cyt b6f genes was greater than the control during the growth period. Treatment of soybean seeds with high concentrations of NZVC (0.33 and 100 mg/kg seed) did not negatively affect the photosynthetic function of soybean plants. The activity of nitrate and nitrite reductases and antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase of cobalt-treated plants were better than those of the control. This is a defense mechanism of plants to minimize the harmful effects of these stresses. This result has elucidated the mechanism of increasing the yield of soybean when its seeds were treated with NZVC.

CORRECTION OF SOWING QUALITY OF MEDICINAL PLANTS SEEDS WITH ECHINACEIA EXTRACTS

The paper presents experimental data on the effect of echinacea extracts on the sowing qualities of medicinal herbs. The biological activity of extracts obtained from the areal part (EAP) and rhizomes with roots (ERS) of pale echinacea was investigated. The object of study was the sowing quality of the seeds of such medicinal plants as blue cornflower (Centaurea cyanus L.), purple echinacea (Echinacea purpurea (L. Moench.), pale echinacea (Echinacea pallida (Nutt.) Nutt.), St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum L.), forest mallow (Malva sylvestris L.), which are of industrial importance for medicinal plants. The seeds were soaked in 0.01%-0.0001% solutions of extracts, under the control they were treated with water, after that they were germinated in Petri dishes by generally accepted methods according to the standards. The best results were obtained in mallow seed extracts. The solution of EAP at a concentration of 0.001% increased the energy of germination by 19.2% compared to the control, and when using ERS in all concentrations, a positive effect was obtained (by 18.2 %-23.6% to the control). Germination of variants treated with EAP solutions increased by 1.12-1.21 times, and ERS – by 1.09-1.21 times. Treatment of Echinacea purple seeds with EAP solutions was not effective, but rhizome extract treatment with roots had a positive effect on both germination energy and germination resulting 12.0%-17.3% and 8.3%-9.5% compared to the control, respectively. Similar regularities were observed in variants with the treatment of Echinacea seeds with extracts in different concentrations. The action of EAP solutions did not statistically exceed the control, but when using ERS, the results reliably exceeded the control by 10.8%-13.8% (germination energy) and by 11.0%-17.8% (germination). Treatment of St. John’s wort and cornflower seeds with extracts did not lead to changes in seed quality indicators. A general trend of greater activity of extracts in concentrations of 0.01%-0.001% was observed.

Studies on morphometric traits and effect of presowing treatments in seeds of Mimusops elengi L.

Mimusops elengi L., (bullet wood) belongs to the family Sapotaceae and is a native tree species of Western Ghats, India. It is well known for its fruit, and fodder and is grown as an ornamental tree. Various parts of the tree are utilized in traditional medicinal practices. In this species, seed germination is rather difficult without pre-seed treatment. Hence, the present study was taken up to analyze the seed morphometric traits namely, seed length, seed width, and seed weight, and also to find the effect of different pre-sowing treatments on seed germination by following standard procedures. The study was conducted at the College of Forestry, Ponnampet, Kodagu district, Karnataka. The average length, width, and thickness of the seeds were 18.09 mm, 12.02 mm, and 6.33 mm, respectively. The maximum seed germination was observed in cold water treatment for 24 hours (34.44%) followed by GA3 500 ppm (30%) and the minimum was observed in hot water treatment (1.1%). Although the germination was poor in this species, treating the seeds of Mimusops elangi with cold water for a day increases the germination by 34.4 percent.

Reduction of desiccation sensitivity in seeds of tree species

ABSTRACT: Desiccation sensitivity is a condition present in seeds of several tree species of economic and ecological importance, which makes such seeds unable to tolerate drying and storage. Thus, studies that seek strategies to maintain the viability of such seeds after being subjected to drying are necessary. An alternative for this purpose is the use of priming in solutions of known osmotic potential. Solutions of polyethylene glycol (PEG), glycerol, as well as phytohormones such as abscisic acid (ABA) and salicylic acid (SA) are related to stress tolerance in seeds. The objective of this work was to study desiccation sensitive seeds of Inga vera, Eugenia uniflora and Tapirira guianensis, using solutions of PEG, SA, sucrose, glycerol and combinations of SA+PEG in an attempt of reducing seed desiccation sensitivity. The responses varied according to the species, but in general, successful results in maintaining the viability of the seeds after drying were obtained from the treatmen of seed with sucrose, glycerol and combinations of PEG and SA. Treatment of seeds with these compounds is promising in reducing the desiccation sensitivity of seeds of tree species.

Preparations based on bacteria from frozen rocks during the dressing of spring wheat seeds

The analysis of the effect of the applied biologies and chemical protectant in seed treatment carried out using paper rolls showed germination against the background of chemical dressing + bacteria – 85-96% at the control of 88%, against the background of pure bacteria 81-88% decrease by 2-10% from the background with chemical dressing. The root length was 11-13 cm, the root mass significantly exceeded the control on the variants of mixtures of chemical dressing and biopreparation. The length of the coleoptile significantly decreased by 1.6-2.6 cm according to the chemical dressing options, the sprout length varied between 9.6-12.0 cm, and a decrease in the sprout length was observed in most variants with a chemical protectant. Against the background of pure chemical protection (seed dressing), the protection efficiency was 100% during the tillering phase and 86% by the end of the growing season of the crop against root rot, mixed versions of the protectant with bacteria reduced faster the protection level. As a result, experimental data were obtained for testing mixtures of bacterial strains of R. Bacillus in the system of pre-sowing dressing of spring wheat seeds, with a positive effect on yield, strains of biological products were isolated (szr + 875 x 9-08; szr + 875 x Mm8; szr + 9-08 x Mm8).

Chemical treatment and mobilization of reserves of soybean seeds under water deficit

Abstract: Seed treatments with chemical phytosanitary products can compromise mobilization of seed reserves for the seedlings under water deficit conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological quality, the initial seedling development, and the mobilization of reserves in soybean seeds treated with phytosanitary products under water deficit. The trial was set up in a completely randomized design in a 4 × 4 factorial arrangement: chemical treatments (control, Thiamethoxam, Fludioxonil + Metalaxyl-M, and Fipronil + Pyraclostrobin + Tiophanate-methyl) × osmotic potentials (0, -0.1, -0.2, and -0.3 MPa). We analyzed the following variables: germination; hypocotyl length, root length, and total seedling length; seedling length vigor index; cotyledon dry matter weight; seedling dry matter yield; seed reserve reduction; relative dry matter yield; seed reserve reduction rate; and conversion efficiency of seed reserves into seedling dry matter. Seed quality and seedling development decline under water deficit conditions. The treatment with Fipronil + Pyraclostrobin + Thiophanate-methyl results in lower phytotoxicity. The estimated cotyledon dry matter (CDM) weight is an indicator of phytotoxicity and water deficit. Mobilization of reserves is compromised in seeds treated with insecticides, reducing the capacity of conversion of reserves into dry matter. There is an inversely proportional relationship between the reduction in conversion and the efficiency of conversion of reserves of treated soybean seeds under water deficit.

Effect of short peptides on seed germination and morphometric parameters of flax seedlings

The use of peptide preparations is one of the current trends in modern agriculture. These preparations can be used to increase the efficiency of sowing treatment of agricultural crops seeds. The article presents the results of a laboratory experiment aimed at studying the effect of a complex of short peptides AC-3 (glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine) on seed germination and morphometric parameters of flax seedlings (Linum usitatissimum L.) - Tverskoy variety. The maximum germination energy (68, 68 and 74%, 50% at the control) and seed germination values (95, 95 and 100%, 75% at the control) were obtained in variants with seed treatment with a complex of short peptides at concentrations of 1*10-12, 1*10-13, and 1*10-15 g/l, respectively. According to the totality of the maximum values of seed quality indicators and morphometric characteristics of flax seedlings, the Tverskoy variety (the length of roots and sprouts, the yield of raw and dry biomass of seedlings), the optimal concentration of a complex of short peptides for pre-sowing seed treatment is 1*10-15 g/l.

Pre-germination treatments of melon seeds for the production of seedlings irrigated with biosaline water.

Melon production in the Brazilian semi-arid region is subject to the use of marginal waters with high salinity. However, the use of regulators and bioactivators in seed treatment can mitigate the harmful effects of salts in irrigation water. In this context, the objective was to evaluate the effect of pre-germination treatments with plant regulators and bioactivator in melon seeds for the production of seedlings irrigated with biosaline water from fish farming effluent. For this, two trials with the Goldex and Grand Prix hybrids were carried out separately. A completely randomized design was used in a 4 × 3 factorial scheme (pre-germination treatments × water dilutions). In addition to the control, the seeds were treated with salicylic and gibberellic acids and thiamethoxam. The waters used for irrigation were local-supply water, fish farming effluent (biosaline water) and these diluted to 50%. Physiological and biochemical analyses were performed for fourteen days. Biosaline water (5.0 dS m-1) did not affect the emergence of Goldex melon seedlings, but compromised the establishment of the Grand Prix cultivar. Seed pre-treatments with salicylic and gibberellic acids attenuate the effects of water salinity and promote growth modulations, resulting in more vigorous melon seedlings.

Seeds Treatment with Ginger (Zingiber officinals Rosc.) Extract Enhanced the Yield and Nutritional Value of Soybean Sprouts

Effect of biostimulants on mustard microgreens grown under different cultivation conditions

Ten products, commercially available as biostimulants or reported for their biostimulating properties, were tested under conventional and organic growing systems for their effects on mustard microgreens (Brassica juncea) grown in presence of abiotic (salt) or biotic (Pythium ultimum) stress. Drench application of wollastonite (calcium silicate) significantly improved the germination rate of mustard seeds sown in a substrate inoculated with P. ultimum in conventional growing system exclusively. In both growing systems, no significant effect of biostimulants was observed on the dry biomass or the proportion of healthy microgreens grown in presence of P. ultimum. None of the biostimulants significantly increased the germination rate of seeds exposed to a salinity stress in both growing systems while humic acid, triacontanol, chitosan, and Bacillus subtilis PTB185 significantly decreased the germination rate of seeds exposed to 40, 80 or 120 mM NaCl L-1 under conventional or organic management. Seed treatment with Trichoderma harzianum T-22 and humic acid resulted in microgreens with a significantly higher dry biomass when subjected to 40 and 80 mM NaCl L-1 under conventional and organic management, respectively. The study showed that the effects of the biostimulants vary from beneficial to detrimental and that plant response to biostimulants is influenced by the cultivation conditions.

Application of microwave technology to extract pure sesame oil

The purpose of the study was to use microwave technology to extract pure sesame seed oils. The findings of investigations on how microwave treatment affects sesame seed yields for oil and cake are reported. It has been demonstrated that the radiation strength and duration of processing have a major impact on oil production. Studies have shown the possibility of increasing the yield of sesame oil, compared to obtaining oil with preliminary heat treatment of sesame seeds, by 1.97% by treating them with steam and subsequent treatment with microwave radiation for 12 minutes. In these circumstances, the oil output is 33.72%, the cake yield is 66.28%, and the moisture content is reduced to 3.77%. The oil content of the seeds, the intensity of the microwave radiation, and the length of the process are the primary factors affecting the amount of oil released. The best technical parameters have been determined, at which 33.72% of the oil and 66.28% of the cake are extracted.
