Seed treatment for the maintenance of vigour and viability.

摘要: Treatment of stored seeds of Oryza sativa, Triticum aestivum, Corchorus sp., Helianthus annuus, Cicer arietinm, Lens culinaris, Phaseolus aureus, Cajanus cajan, Lathyrus sativus, Allium cepa, Hibiscu esculentus, Daucus carota, Lycopersicon esculentum, Solanum melongena and Capsicum annuum with water culinaris, Phaseolus aureus, Cajanus cajan, Lathyris sativus, Allium for short periods (usually 2-6 depending on the material) followed by drying, significantly extended their subsequent storage life under ambient conditions or accelerated aging under a range of temperature and humidity regimes. A range of chemicals, including salts, phenols, vitamins and fungicides in low concentrations (10-5 to 10-3M) in aqueous solution caused a further improvement in germinability, readily soluble salts (sodium chloride, sodium monophosphate and sodium diphosphate) causing the greatest improvement in most …
