| Summary: | To evaluate the effect of concentrations and time of grain soaking, under the influence of
salicylic acid (SA), on the germination and early growth of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plants, an
experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design. Treatments consisted of four
concentrations of SA (0, 25, 50 and 100 μM) with melting times every 24 h, up to 164 h (final monitoring
time). Germination percentages, primary and secondary root growth, as well as stem and leaf growth,
as well as chlorophyll and carotenoid content, were recorded. The results show that by sprinkling the
seeds with 20 ml of SA solution, every 24 h, better and better results appear in the process of
germination and development, compared to the control sample. The growth of the root, the length of
the stem and the leaf was higher at the lowest concentration of SA (25 μM), but also in the case of the
other concentrations they germinated and developed harmoniously, their germination not being
inhibited. The same cannot be concluded, however, about the control sample, whose germination was
very poor. |
