What are the effects of salinity on germination and growth of radish seeds?

09 September 2023 1 2K Report

The different effects of different concentrations of salt in water and how they may affect germination and growth of plant seeds. The sources of info that can offer more details on conducted experiments in the last 10 years

Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman

In general, high soil salinity inhibits seed germination due to the low osmotic potential created around the seed, which prevents water uptake :)

How often do I have to irrigate the field for germination of mungbean where flooding is not allowed during very hot summer days?

Day temp. Above 40 degrees, low RH below 13%, high wind speed of 50km/hr, in clayey soil, over irrigation causes crusting which affects germination, thus flooding can't be done.
