The composition of artificial soil in a containerized seedling production plays an important role in seedling quality as well as environmental issues. We investigated the effects of different types of biomaterials and mixed ratio with artificial soil on the growth of Fraxinus rhynchophylla seedlings. Soil medium was supplemented with 3 levels (0%, 10%, 20%) of pine bark, mushroom sawdust and rice husk. Root collar diameter (RCD), height growth, and biomass have significantly increased when rice husk was applied. Compared with the control, RCD and height growth showed highest in 20% rice husk treatment with an increase of 5.7% and 17.6%, respectively. In contrast, the treatments of pine bark and mushroom sawdust showed lower results in growth parameters (RCD, height growth, and total biomass) than control. Seedling quality index was also highest at the 20% rice husk treatment, but there was not statistically different among treatments. Our results suggested rice husk can be substituted up to 20% of substrates for containerized F. rhynchophylla seedling production system.

Rapid loss in viability of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) seed is a major problem. Present effort was undertaken for developing a set pattern for assessing of viability and vigour in seed of various mother tree age of neem (Age I-06 years, Age II-15 years, Age III-25 years and Age IV->30 years old). Various viability test viz. triphenyle tetrazolium chloride test, electrical conductivity, excised embryo test, and germination test have been performed on seeds obtained from mother tree age classes. Inconsistency was observed with the TTC and EC test in germination of seed in laboratory as well as nursery. While various vigour tests viz. cold test, chemical stress test (methanol stress test), and accelerated ageing test alongwith ageing index, germination test (G%, MGT and GV) and various seedling growth parameters like seedling length (cm), number of leaves, collar diameter (cm), total biomass (g) alongwith mathematical indices i.e. vigour index, sturdiness quotient, volume index, quality index, root shoot ratio in nursery as well have been taken for study and showed better consistency. On the basis present study results of various viability and vigour test indicated that mother tree age class II performed better in comparison to others and it can be recommended for seed collection. Further it is also recommended that viability of neem seed may be assessed using various laboratory tests like excise embryo test and germination test (G%, MGT and GV) and vigour test may be taken preferably by cold germination test, chemical (methanol) stress test, accelerated ageing test in laboratory and germination alongwith various seedling growth parameters seedling length (cm), number of leaves, collar diameter (cm), total biomass (g) alongwith mathematical indices like Vigour Index, Sturdiness quotient, Volume Index, Quality index, root shoot ratio in nursery as discussed in this study.

A study was conducted to determine the phytotoxic effect of mercury on seed germination and seedling growth of an important arid legume tree Albizia lebbeck. The seeds germination and seedling growth performance of A. lebbeck responded differently to mercuric chloride treatment (1 mM, 3 mM, 5 mM and 7 mM) as compared to control. Seed germination of A. lebbeck was significantly (p < 0.05) affected by mercury treatment at 1 mM. Root growth of A. lebbeck was not significantly affected by mercury treatment at 1 mM, and 3 mM. Shoot and root length of A. lebbeck were significantly (p < 0.05) affected by 5 mM concentration of mercury treatment. Increase in concentration of mercury treatment at 5 mM and 7 mM significantly (p < 0.05) reduced seedling dry weight of A. lebbeck. The treatment of mercury at 1 mM decreased high percentage of seed germination (22%), seedling length (10%), root length (21.85%) and seedling dry weight (9%). Highest decrease in seed germination (51%), seedling (34%), root length (48%) and seedling dry weight (41%) of A. lebbeck occurred at 7 mM mercury treatment. A. lebbeck showed high percentage of tolerance (78.14%) to mercury at 1 mM. However, 7 mM concentration of mercury produced lowest percentage of tolerance (51.65%) in A. lebbeck. The seed germination potential and seedling vigor index (SVI) clearly decreased with the higher level of mercury. Plantation of A. lebbeck in mercury-polluted area will help in reducing the burden of mercury pollution. A. lebbeck can serve better in coordinating in land management programs in metal contaminated areas. The identification of the toxic concentration of metals and tolerance indices of A. lebbeck would also be helpful for the establishment of air quality standard.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of seed storage temperature and pre-treatment on seed germination, seedling quality and vigor index of wild Trichosanthes kirilowii and Trichosanthes kirilowii var. japonica. As a result the highest germination rate of T. kirilowii was the 95% at seed stored in room temperature and then soaking for 24 hours in $dH_2O$. And the highest germination rate of T. kirilowii var. japonica was 96% at seed stored in $2^{\circ}C$ and then soaking for 24 hours in $GA_3$ (100 ppm). But the seed germination rate was non-significance in pre-treatment at seed stored in room temperature $2^{\circ}C$. Seedlings of T. kirilowii and T. kirilowii var. japonica showed not only the best seedling quality but also seedling vigor index in seed stored at $2^{\circ}C$ and then soaking for 24 hours in $GA_3$ (100 ppm). In this research, T. kirilowii and T. kirilowii var. japonica seed were stored in room temperature or $2^{\circ}C$, and then sown in peat moss, seed germination rate was more than 90% and production of superior quality seedlings.

본 연구는 헛개나무(Hovenia dulcis Thunb.) 묘목 생산을 위한 적정 시비수준을 밝히고자 수행되었다. 헛개나무 1년생 용기묘를 대상으로 6가지 시비수준(대조구, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 g·L^-1)에 따른 용기묘의 간장, 근원경, 물질생산량, 묘목품질지수, 엽록소 함량 등을 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 헛개나무 용기묘는 시비수준이 높아짐에 따라 간장 및 근원경 생장과 건중량이 증가하였으나, 1.5 g·L^-1 이상의 처리구에서는 큰 차이가 없었으며, 간장 생장의 경우 2.5 g·L^-1 시비처리구에서 유의적으로 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 묘목품질지수는 1.5 g·L^-1 이상 처리시, 처리구간 유의적 차이가 없는 높은 값을 보였으며, 엽록소 함량은 1.5 g·L^-1 처리구에서 가장 높은 값을 나타냈다. 시비처리에 따른 환경적, 비용적 측면을 고려 하였을 때, 우량 헛개나무 용기묘 생산을 위하여 요구되는 적절한 시비수준은 1.5 g·L^-1이며, 최소한의 묘목규격을 충족시키기 위해서는 적어도 0.5 g·L^-1의 시비처리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 약용 및 밀원자원으로 이용되는 헛개나무의 효율적인 묘목 생산체계 구축 및 안정적인 묘목 공급을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

We performed seed germination tests to investigate the effects of seed sowing orientation on germination viability on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) sprouts. Specifically, we assessed the influence of seed sowing orientation on germination rate, seedling weight, and seedling length, as well as the seedling vigor index. The seeds were sown in oak tree sawdust at 3.0 cm depth. Four seed orientations were tested: vertical with the hypocotyl end down, vertical with the hypocotyl end up, horizontal with the hypocotyl end down, and horizontal with the hypocotyl end up. The mean seed germination percentages of the four seed orientations were significantly different (p < 0.01) and ranged from 25 to 91.7%. The vertical orientation with hypocotyl-end-down and hypocotyl-end-up orientations showed the highest (91.7%) and lowest (25%) germination rates, respectively. The vertical orientation with the hypocotyl end down produced the heaviest (4.9 g) seedlings and the longest hypocotyls (4.65 cm). This orientation also produced the longest true leaf + epycotyl (2.15 cm) and had the highest seedling vigor index (197.1). The seedlings had a straight growth pattern, whereas seedlings from seeds sown with the hypocotyl up had an awkward plumular hook shape. Taken together, to produce peanut sprouts, we recommend placing the seeds vertically with the hypocotyl end down because this orientation leads to a high germination rate, high biomass production, and high overall seedling quality.

편백은 우리나라 남부지역 대표적 조림 수종으로 2-2 용기묘의 조림이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 편백 용기묘의 묘령(1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 2-2묘)에 따른 엽면적비, 묘고(H)/근원경(D)비, 지상부 건중량(T)/뿌리 건중량(R)비, 묘목 품질지수, 양분흡수 특성 등을 조사하였다. 묘목의 엽면적비는 1-0묘가 30.48 cm² g^-1로 가장 크고 묘령이 증가함에 따라 28.62 cm² g^-1 에서 23.59 cm² g^-1으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. H/D율은 1-0묘가 4.41로 가장 낮은 값을 보였으며, 2-1묘 7.17, 2-2묘 8.35, 2-0묘 9.05 순이었다. T/R율은 1-0묘가 4.29로 가장 크게 나타났으며, 2-1묘가 2.13으로 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 묘목 품질지수는 1-0묘 0.10, 2-0묘 0.51, 2-1묘 2.54, 2-2묘 3.06으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 편백 용기묘의 잎, 줄기, 가지, 뿌리 등의 탄소 농도는 묘령의 증가와 뚜렷한 경향을 보이지 않았다. 양분흡수 특성 중 시비를 실시하지 않은 2-1묘의 잎 질소 농도는 0.85%로 시비를 실시한 타 묘령의 잎 내 질소 농도 1.25~1.88%에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 값을 보였다. 잎의 질소 농도와는 대조적으로 인, 칼륨, 마그네슘 농도는 시비가 실시되지 않았던 2-1묘에서도 농도의 감소가 나타나지 않아 이들 양분의 무시비에 대한 반응이 질소보다 크지 않았다. 본 연구 결과는 편백 용기묘의 묘령에 따른 생산 기준 설정이나 적정 생육을 위한 양분관리에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다

시비는 시설양묘과정에서 반드시 실시되어야 하지만, 토양 및 계류수 오염의 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 시설양묘과정에서 시비량 조절에 따른 친환경적 경제적 시비방법 구명을 위해 Constant rate, Three stage rate 및 Exponential rate 등의 3 가지 시비 처리를 실시하였으며, 시비 처리에 따른 생장 특성 및 광합성, 엽록소 형광반응, 엽록소 함량 등을 조사 분석하였다. 그 결과, 근원경, 간장 및 물질생산량은 Constant 처리에서 가장 우수하였다. 묘목품질지수 또한 같은 경향을 보였지만, 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. Exponential 처리구에서도 50%의 시비량으로 규격묘 생산이 가능했다. 광합성 능력은 세 처리구 모두 우수하였으며, 광화학 효율과 엽록소 함량은 Exponential 처리구에서 유의적으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. Exponential 시비 방법으로 생리 및 생장에 문제없는 규격묘를 생산할 수 있었다. 즉, 최소 비용의 최대 생장 효과와 함께 친환경적 시비 방법이라 할 수 있다.

Halophytes are plants of saline habitats that grow under conditions that may vary in extremes of temperatures (freezing to very hot), water availability (drought to water logging) and salinity (mild to almost saturation). Halophytes may also face sudden micro-environmental variations within their habitats. In this study, we examine some of the factors that determine the ability of seeds of Artemisia fukudo to germinate when conditions are optimal for seedling growth and survival. Germination percentage was the highest at 77.5% when treated in 0% seawater and seedling growth was best in 0% seawater plug cell tray. Physiological quality (chlorophyll contents) and mean germination time were best in the condition in which seeds were treated with 0% seawater (control). Germination performance index in the control group showed the highest value to 3.8. Seedling growth, seedling vigor index in the length of seedling growth andthe relative growth rate were the highest values of 0.76 cm, 1.43, 0.0099, respectively.
