Impact of Water Retaining Agent on Germination and Seedling Growth of Astragalus Adsurgens Pelleted Seed Under Drought Conditions
Using different amount of water retaining agent to pelletize Astragalus adsurgens seeds
the effects of water retaining agent on pelleted seeds germination and seedlings were studied. By pelletizing
Astragalus adsurgens seed with water retaining agent in different content level
the seedling growing trial and drought-resistant tests were studied. In the germination and seedling growth trial
compared with the control treatment
using water retaining agent at the level of 7%
9% could significantly increase germination rate by 70% and 63.19%
and root length
root surf area increased by 19.36% and 45.26% respectively; In the drought-resistant tests
the bottom leaves of Astragalus adsurgens wilted first
the top leaves showed same symptoms when the soil was much drier. Compared with the control treatment
water retaining agent at the level of 5% and 7%
the quantity of the yellow leaves decreased by 15.58% and 22.07% respectively at 13th day after thinning seedlings; the content of soluble sugar decreased by 13.1% and 13.6% respectively with increase of water retaining agent concentration when water retaining agent was at the level of 7% and 9%; proline was decreased by 20.33%
22.85% and 19.08% respectively at the level of 5%
7% and 9%. The results showed that the appropriate content of water retaining agent was 7%~9% in pelletizing Astragalus adsurgens seed.
