Suaeda Fruticosa

Seed germination of desert shrubs (Atriplex griffithii Moq., Haloxylon recurvum (Moq.) Bunge ex Boiss, Suaeda fruticosa (L.) Forssk., Triglochin maritima L.), and a forb (Zygophyllum simplex L.) was studied under various light, temperature, and salinity regimes. Seed germination of Atriplex griffithii, Z. simplex, and Suaeda fruticosa was least affected by light, whereas, seeds of H. recurvum and T. maritima had a light requirement for germination. Haloxylon recurvum seeds did not germinate at 10–20 °C in the dark, and no T. maritima seeds germinated in dark at all thermoperiod and salinity regimes studied. Seed germination was inhibited in all species with an increase in salinity, and this inhibition was more substantial in dark than in light. Key words: Atriplex griffithii, halophyte, Haloxylon recurvum, light, seed germination, Suaeda fruticosa, Triglochin maritima, thermoperiod, Zygophyllum simplex.

Seedling Length

Currently, a real challenge for the workers in the agricultural research field is to stop or reduce the use of expensive agrochemicals/ chemical fertilizers which are hazardous to the environment as well as human health. Present study was aimed to improve the growth and obtain optimum yield of Vigna crop with eco-friendly, non-toxic way and to reduce the use of agrochemical/chemical fertilizer application in agricultural activities. A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of chemical fertilizer (DAP) and biofertilizer ( Rhizobium strain) separately and in combination on seed germination and seedling growth (at 30 days) based on morphological parameters such as seedling length (cm), fresh weight (g), dry weight (g) and leaf area (cm)2 of Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek. After one month (30 Days) observations, it was found that seedling length, fresh and dry weights and leaf area were maximum in T4 and minimum in T15, T7 and T8 favored improved seedling length and leaf area whereas T7, T8, and T9 favored improved fresh and dry weights as compared to control.
