Abstract:

To determine the effect of different initiators on the initiation of different sugar beet seeds, and to provide a basis for screening sugar beet seed coating materials, in this study, four kinds of beet seeds were used as experimental materials, and four kinds of reagents were used to treat the seeds, and the germination energy, germination percentage, germination index and vigor index of beet seeds were determined. The results showed that compared with the control group, after the treatment, the germination energy of the four kinds of beet seeds after treatments were increased by 12%–17.67%, 0%–23%, 7.34%–22.34%, and 4.34%–10.00%, respectively; the germination percentage of the four kinds of sugar beet seeds were increased by -2.33%–9.67%, -5.00%–0.33%, -4.00%–-0.33%, -11.66%–4.00%, respectively, the germination index of the four kinds of beet seeds were increased by 6.56–13.27, -2.32–18.26, 9.12–23.72, 4.16–12.37, respectively, and the vigor index of the four kinds of beet seeds were increased by 95.45–172.92, 2.83–223.22, 106.93–324.93, 53.99–254.08, respectively. In conclusion, the four treatments have promoting effects on seed vigor index, but the same treatment has different triggering effects on different kinds of seeds.
