Abstract in English
The experiment was carried out to assess the germinability and seedling
growth rate of some treated vegetable seeds (i.e. onion, carrot, and tomato) with
aerated - aqueous solutions.
Seeds were treated for 24 hours with 0.1% of both succinic acid and
nutrient solution, and the seeds to medium ratio was 1:5.
The soaking solution was continuously aerated by an air pump. At the end
of treatment, the seeds were dried up at room temperature to eliminate the
excess superficial moisture.
