| Abstract |
This experiment aimed to explore the appropriated ratio of plant nutrients for pelleting lettuce seeds, and followed the growth after pelleting the seeds with plant nutrients by measuring the germination, speed of germination, root length, shoot length, fresh weight and dry weight under the laboratory and greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted at Seed Quality Testing Laboratory, Seed Processing Plant, Faculty of Agriculture, Khon Kaen University. It was shown that pelleted seeds with nitrogen at the rate between 0.06 and 0.24 g did not affect the germination and the vigor of lettuce seeds both under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. For the growth of lettuce seeds after pelleting with ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), it was found that pelleted seeds with NH4NO3 at the rate of 0.24 g had the best shoot length, root length, seedling fresh weight, and seedling dry weight under the laboratory and greenhouse conditions, followed by pelleting the seeds at the rate of 0.12 g. In addition, after accelerated ageing of the seeds, it was apparently shown that all methods of pelleted seeds had better germination than non-pelleted seeds clearly under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. |
