Evaluation of legumes germination potential herbs used for soil fertilization

2017 
Germination is the processing of the seed until it becomes a plant. This implies the metabolic Wake thereof after absorbing water followed by imbibition. To determine the germination potential of seeds, after sorting, by direct seeding cultivation of 100 seeds per species 11 herbaceous legumes such as Abrus precatorius, Calopogonium mucunoides, Centrosema pubescens, Clitoria ternatea, Crotalaria goreensis, Crotalaria retusa, Indigofera arrecta Mimosa invisa, Phaseolus adenanthus, Pueraria phaseoloides and Schrankia leptocarpa in nursery bags was performed. The seeding depth was the same for all packets and equal to 1 cm. The density of the semi is 1 seed per bag. Then, the number of species germinated every day and their growth rate were evaluated. From the viewpoint of germination, the length of the lift phase translated dormancy variability of the population of seeds. Different exercised within a relatively short time (4-9 days) helped to note the beneficial effects of mechanical scarification as a treatment applied to seeds. After 35 days of sowing, low survival rates recorded have shown that plants are more sensitive to the vegetative stage at the stage of the adult plant.
