Abstract

Agrostemma githago, a poisonous, noxious, and competitive weed species, can threaten crop yields in various agricultural regions worldwide. Experiments were performed twice to ascertain the effect of temperature, salt stress, osmotic potential, and burial depth on the germination and seedling emergence of A. githago. Seeds germinated across various temperatures ranging between 5 and 35 °C, while germination was completely inhibited at 40 °C. The optimum temperature for maximum germination percentage (GP), maximum germination rate (GR), and minimum mean germination time (MGT) ranged from 17.47 °C to 19.37 °C. The 50% reduction in GP occurred at 27 °C. The seeds of A. githago germinated over a wide range of osmotic potentials, from 0 to –1.2 MPa. However, the GP decreased with increasing osmotic potential, where at –1.2 MPa, germinability was 19%. Similarly, seeds germinated across a broad range of salinities, with a GP of 21% at 300 mM. However, no germination was observed at 350 mM. Osmotic potential and salinity concentration required to inhibit 50% of maximum GP were estimated to be −0.99 MPa and 272 mM, respectively. Thus, it is expected that A. githago can germinate in saline and arid environments. The maximum seedling emergence (99%) was observed when seeds were placed on the soil surface. In contrast, no seedling emergence was recorded when seeds were buried at depths greater than 4 cm. Accordingly, deep conventional tillage might be helpful for managing A. githago. This knowledge can be implemented for both the future research and the development of effective management for A. githago.

影响玉米草发芽和出苗的因素:农业系统中杂草管理的见解
农业杂草(Agrostemma githago)是一种有毒、有害、竞争激烈的杂草,对全球许多农业地区的作物产量构成威胁。通过两次试验,研究了温度、盐胁迫、渗透势和埋深对赤豆萌发和出苗的影响。种子在5 - 35°C的不同温度下发芽,而在40°C的温度下萌发完全被抑制。最大发芽率(GP)、最大发芽率(GR)和最小平均发芽时间(MGT)的适宜温度为17.47 ~ 19.37℃。GP在27°C时降低50%。赤藤种子在0 ~ -1.2 MPa的渗透压范围内萌发。然而,GP随着渗透电位的增加而降低,在-1.2 MPa时,萌发率为19%。同样,种子在很大的盐度范围内都能发芽,在300 mM的盐度下萌发率为21%,但在350 mM的盐度下没有萌发。据估计,抑制最大萌发率50%所需的渗透电位和盐度浓度分别为- 0.99 MPa和272 mM。因此,预计木藤可以在盐碱地和干旱环境中发芽。将种子置于土壤表面时出苗率最高(99%)。相比之下,当种子埋深大于4 cm时,没有记录到幼苗出苗。因此,传统深耕法可能有助于樟树的管理。这些知识可以为今后的研究和开发有效的管理方法提供依据。
