Effect of seed priming by potassium nitrate on nodulation of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L)
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Legumes are an important food source brimful of protein in human and animal nutrition. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important legume plant families includes important effect in human nutrition. This research was conducted for study of effects of seed priming by potassium nitrate on nodulation ability of common bean plants in the green house of agricultural research at Islamic Azad University Saveh branch in 2013. This experiment was done in a factorial complete randomize blocked design, with one treatment and four replications the prepared seeds of common bean were treated with different levels of potassium nitrate include zero as control, 0.25 and 0.35 moles per liter. Common bean seeds were primed for 10 hours in specified density and then were transferred to pots for planting. Base on the results of this experiment we found that use of potassium nitrate at rate of 0.35 moles per liter causes increasing the fixed number of root nodules nitrogen in bean plant seeds. According to the position of legumes in human diet and importance of nitrogen fixing the use of potassium nitrate as seed priming implies the seed yield improvement and yield parts in bean plant.
