Effect of Water Extracts of SomeMedicinal Plants OnGermination Percentage and Development of Plumule and Radicle Growth Anethum graveolens L.

Abstract

 An experiment was conducted at the laboratories of College of Agriculture – Kerbala University during 2016. The aim of this study was to the effect of water extracts of medicinal plants germination percentage and development of plumule and radicle growth .The completely randomized design with three replicates was usedin each experiment consisted of water extracts (T1= Distilled water),(T2= Eruca sativa Eruca sativa L),(T3= Fenugreek ïºï»Ÿïº¤ï» ïº’ﺔTrigonella foenum - graecum L),(T4= Sweet FennelFoeniculum vulgare.Mill),(T5=Borage Anchusa strigosa Lab),(T6=Dill Anethum graveolens L) ,(T7=Black cuminNigella Sativa L),(T8=Cumin Cuminumcyminum L),(T9=  CorianderCoriandrum sativum L. ). Results of Lab. Water extracts that T9and T8 treatments significantly increased the germination percentage (96.70 and 95%) and germination speed (1.38 and 1.35 seed / day) .whileT9,T8 and T5 gave the high radical lengths (4.05,3.02 and 2.31 cm) respectively. The T8 treatment was superior in giving the higher average of plumule length (7.53cm) and dry weight radical (1.03mg). The T9 significantly gave the highest average of force seedling(958) and dry weight plumule(3.00mg) compared with the T1 treatment (control) which gave the lowest values of percentage, germination speed and high length of radical, length of plumule , dry weight radical, force seedling and dry weight plumule (80% , 1.14 seed / day , 1.66cm,6.63,0.80mg,665 and 2.86mg) respectively. Water extracts of T7, T4.T2 and T3 showed inhibition of all most parameters studies
