Impact of Different Treatments on Seed Germination and Growth of Moringa oleifera

The different kinds of Chemical as carbendazim, KMnO4 and warm water were used on Moringa oleifera seeds, and the germination rate and the plant height were recorded in each group. The results show that: 1% carbendazim treatment with 4 h, the germination rate was 73.3%, higher than that in the control group 11.1%; 100 mg / L 12 h KMnO4 soaking 's germination rate of 70%, higher than that in control group 7.8%; 59 degrees warm water soaking 4 h, germination rate of 67.8%, higher than that in control group 5.6%. The 1% carbendazim treatment on the germination of Moringa oleifera was the best. All the treatments had promoting effects on the seedlings growth of Moringa oleifer; using 1% carbendazim was the best.

Abstract:

The different kinds of Chemical as carbendazim, KMnO4 and warm water were used on Moringa oleifera seeds, and the germination rate and the plant height were recorded in each group. The results show that: 1% carbendazim treatment with 4 h, the germination rate was 73.3%, higher than that in the control group 11.1%; 100 mg / L 12 h KMnO4 soaking 's germination rate of 70%, higher than that in control group 7.8%; 59 degrees warm water soaking 4 h, germination rate of 67.8%, higher than that in control group 5.6%. The 1% carbendazim treatment on the germination of Moringa oleifera was the best. All the treatments had promoting effects on the seedlings growth of Moringa oleifer; using 1% carbendazim was the best.
