Effect of different quitomax doses on pepper seedling growth (capsicum annuum l) (Original)
Keywords:
pepper; germination; QuitoMax; doseAbstract
Experiment was carried out in lab conditions, in the Agricultural and Livestock Faculty. The objective of the investigation was to evaluate the effect of QuitoMax on germination and growth of pepper seedlings. Four experimental variant were evaluated: concentrations of 1; 1,5; 0,5; 0,25 g L-1, in which seedlings were soaked up during four hours. Germination dynamic, plant high and green mass, were measured. The frequency of measurement, were fortnight day. Results showed that QuitoMax concentrations influenced on germination dynamic. Seedlings that were soaked up during four hours in 1,5 g L-1 concentration, have the smallest germination time and the best effect over plant high. Plant high has significate differences when compared with control treatment. Green mass increased when QuitoMax concentration increased. The highest increase was obtained with 1,5 g L-1 concentration.
