Field Treatment Effects on Seed Germination and Early Growth Traits of Berseem Clover under Salinity Stress Conditions by MR Chaichi in CIACR- Lupine Publishers.
Developing seeds with a high level of tolerance against salinity and
water shortage scan guarantee best seedling establishment in arid and
semi-arid agricultural lands. This three-year field, laboratory and
greenhouse study proposes the surfactant application to effectively
prevent the detrimental impacts of severe environmental conditions on
the development of parental plants. The germination rate of six parental
seeds of berseem clovers (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) from I100 (100% irrigation water)/I100+s (irrigation water with surfactant, s), I75/I75+s and I50/I50+s
treatments are studied under seven osmotic salinity potentials (0,
-0.2, -0.4, -0.6, -0.8, -1, and -1.2MPa). Plants from seeds developed by
surfactant in full and moderate limited irrigation (I100 and I75)
show a favorable germination percentage when under saline stress
treatments of -0.4 and -0.8MPa. The highest seedling lengths of 10.2 and
10.3cm were achieved for the seeds produced from I75 and I100+s treatments, respectively- Lupine Publishers.
