This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pepper (pipiemento
variety), and eggplant (Dara variety) seed's treatment on germination
characteristics, and the impact of eggplant seeds treatment on seedling quality.
The seeds were treated for
24 hours in glass containers, in which the ratio of
seeds to the applied media was 1:5, the concentration of the mineral solution
was 0.1%, while the concentration of each of GA3 and the organic nutrient
solution was 0.01%.
The media were continuously aerated by passing a current of pure oxygen
(O2), at sufficient pressure to homogenously mix the seeds in the media. The
seeds were dried up after 24 hours of treatment to remove the excess moisture.
Seeds were germinated in Petri dishes, and soil-full containers to assess the
germinability, and seed vigor. The eggplant seeds were also sown in peat-moss
containing pots (8 cm indiameter) to study the influence of treatment on
seedling quality.
The results showed that treatment efficiency depends on the nature of the
used media, and crop. In addition, it has been revealed that the aeration of
media enhanced the germination, accelerated the seedling growth, and
improved their quality.
This research aims to achieve production costs for all agriculture crop eggplant
operations account, and analysis, and the calculation of economic returns, has been
conducting the study based on 2015 prices, compared with 2010 prices, where prices
and
costs adoption and wages as their spending, any time of land preparation and preparation
for planting down to production and marketing.
And it found the results to be eggplant crop has good economic rents and achieves
the following:
1. GDP (SP / acre / year) SP = 675000.
2. The total production costs (SP / acre / year) = 594 042 SP.
3. Net farm income per acre (SP / acre / year) = 641 368 LS.
4. Profit from dunum (SP / acre / year) = 81000 SP.
5. Turnover changing assets = 1.53 SP and the changing asset turnover = 240 time
SP.
6. profitability coefficient:
A coefficient of profitability compared to the production costs = 18.50%.
B. earnings multiple relative to invested capital = 13.65%.
The research aims to study the effect of the treatment of the
eggplant seeds- pink local kind in some seaweed extracts to improve
the germination characteristics, as well as the study of their impact
on the growth of the resulting seedlings and their ability to
withstand the transplanting shock.
