| Abstract |
Lettuce seeds are flat in shape and small in size with small amounts of stored food reserves resulting in non-uniform germination, and slow seedling growth rate. Therefore, pelleting the seeds for improving germination uniformity, and making it easier to plant was conducted. This research was to study the quality of lettuce seeds after pelleting the seeds with plant nutrients. The experiment was conducted at Seed Quality Testing Laboratory, Seed Processing Plant, Faculty of Agriculture, Khon Kaen University. Then, the germination of lettuce seeds was examined. The results showed that the pelleting seed with ZnSO4 .7H2 O in all rates had not affect on the germination of lettuce seeds. But the pelleted seeds with ZnSO4 .7H2 O in all rates had affected the promotion of the growth of lettuce seedlings. It also found that the length of the shoot and root of the pelleting seeds with ZnSO4 .7H2 O at the rate of 0.6 grams was longer than the non-pelleted seeds. In accelerated ageing of seeds, every process had a pelleting method with a percentage of germination better than the seeds without pelleting both under the laboratory and greenhouse conditions |
