Dormancy studies on Euphorbia dracunculoides and Astragalus spp.: major weeds of arid areas
The aim of this study was to examine the dormancy behavior of Euphorbia dracunculoides and Astragalus spp., weeds of arid chickpea. The dormancy breaking treatments were: Gibberalic acid (GA3) and Thiourea each at 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 ppm and Potassium nitrate (KNO3) at 5,000, 10,000, 15,...

Zusammenfassung: | The aim of this study was to examine the dormancy behavior of Euphorbia dracunculoides and Astragalus spp., weeds of arid chickpea. The dormancy breaking treatments were: Gibberalic acid (GA3) and Thiourea each at 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 ppm and Potassium nitrate (KNO3) at 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000, and 30,000 ppm (24 h soaking). Germination (G) percentage and germination energy (GE) of E. dracunculoides was maximum (89 and 22, respectively) at 250 ppm concentration of GA3 and 81.50 and 11.50 at 15000 ppm concentration of KNO3. Thiourea at 250 and 300 ppm resulted in maximum G percentage (51) and GE (25.50) of E. dracunculoides, whereas the G percentage and GE of Astragalus spp. were maximum (28 and 19, respectively) at the lowest concentration of GA3 (50 ppm). On the other hand, 5000 ppm and 150 ppm concentration of KNO3 and Thiourea showed maximum GE (19.5) and G percentage (28) of Astragalus spp., respectively. Overall, effective dormancy breaking chemical against E. dracunculoides was GA3 (250 ppm) while in Astragalus spp. none of chemicals showed very impressive results. These results showed that both weeds' seeds have dormancy in their habit. Hot water treatment and the above mentioned chemicals (best concentrations) when used with 4, 8, and 12 hours soaking showed ineffective results.
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o comportamento de dormência de Euphorbia dracunculoides e Astragalus spp., ervas daninhas de grão de bico árido. Tratamentos de quebra da dormência foram: ácido Gibberalic (GA3) e tioureia cada a 50, 100 , 150 , 200 , 250 e 300 ppm e de nitrato de potássio ( KNO3 ) em 5.000, 10.000, 15.000 , 20.000, 25,000 e 30,000 ppm (24 horas de imersão) . Germinação (G) e porcentagem de energia de germinação (GE) de E. dracunculoides foi máxima (89 e 22, respectivamente) a 250 ppm de concentração de GA3 e 81,50 e 11,50 a 15000 ppm de concentração de KNO3. Thioureea a 250 e 300 ppm resultou em percentagem máxima de L (51) e GE (25,50) de E. dracunculoides. Considerando G porcentagem e GE de Astragalus spp. foi máxima (28 e 19, respectivamente), a menor concentração de GA3 (50 ppm). Por outro lado, de 5000 ppm e 150 ppm de concentração de KNO3 e tioureia mostrou máximo GE (19,5) e G percentagem (28) do Astragalus spp., respectivamente. Acima de tudo, quebrando a dormência química eficaz contra E. dracunculoides foi GA3 (250 ppm), enquanto em Astragalus spp., nenhum dos produtos químicos mostraram resultados impressionantes . E |
