| Abstract |
A lack of nutrients in the seed can be supplemented by seed coating and has the potential to improve germination
and seedling growth. In this research, we studied the physiological effect of coating tomato seeds with plant
nutrient formulations (PNF) on the dehydrogenase activity during germination and nutrient content of the
seedlings. Two tomato seed lots were used, differing in physiological quality: the low quality seed lot had 76%
germination and the medium quality seed lot had 87% germination. Seeds were coated with a complete PNF
containing N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, B, Mn, Cu and Zn. The PNF was applied at three concentrations, i.e., 1-fold
(PF1), 4-fold (PF4) and 16-fold (PF16), and applied with 3% PVP-K90 + 1% PEG 6000 as a polymer. Coating
seeds with PNF improved seed germination for both low- and medium-quality seeds. Accelerated ageing tests
revealed that PF1 increased germination by 12 and 27% in low- and medium-quality seeds, respectively. All
concentrations of PNF increased TDH activity after 48 hours of seed imbibition. Moreover, PF16 decreased
root length but increased shoot length. All PNF treatments resulted in higher nutrient content in the seedlings |
