| Abstract | ||
| This research was completed in May 2022 at the Agronomy Department Laboratory of Seed Testing, Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University, Egypt, to examine the effects of soaking treatments with varied amounts of antioxidants and chitosan (control treatment, soaking in distilled water, ascorbic acid (AA) at the rates of 100, 150 and 200 ppm, salicylic acid (SA) at the rates of 100, 150 and 200 ppm and chitosan at the rates of 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% on germination parameters of some maize genotypes (SC-2031, synthetic cultivar Giza-2 and TWC-324). Four replications of a factorial experiment using a randomised complete block design (RCBD) were used in the lab experiment. The best results of germination parameter were recorded from sown SC-2031 hybrid, followed by sown synthetic cultivar Giza-2 and then sown TWC-324 hybrid. Soaking maize seeds at 200 ppm of AA resulted in the best results of germination parameter, followed by soaking maize seeds at 150 or 100 ppm of AA or 100 ppm of SA. The descending order of other soaking seed treatments was as follows; SA (150 ppm) > salicylic acid (200 ppm) > distilled water > without (untreated "control treatment") > chitosan (0.75%) > chitosan (0.50 %). To maximize the germination parameters of maize, it could be recommended to soak maize SC-2031 hybrid seeds at 200 ppm of (AA) or 100 ppm of (SA) for 12 h. | ||
