“…It was also noticed that the seeds sown at 0.2 mm depth had a significantly higher branch number of 12.0±2.0 compared to those sown at 0.4 and 0.6 mm depth with 9.0±1.0 and 8.0±2.0, respectively. Kibru et al (2015) and Chima et al (2017) reported that when the seeds are sown too deep, the germination of seeds are forced to push their tender shoots through the soil and the seedling may die or the seeds cannot germinate due to lack of oxygen, light, and temperature fluctuation. Depth of sowing did not influence the rate of biomass accumulation significantly and shoot biomass at 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 mm was 0.561, 0.442, and 0.381 g, respectively.…”

The Indian Ecological Society is organising an international conference on Sustainable Agricultural Innovations for Resilient Agri-Food Systems from 13-15 October at Jammu, India. The participants will be presenting and learning about the latest multi-disciplinary agricultural research innovations and strategies for sustainable and resilient agri-food systems. To address the issues of sustainability of agri-food systems from an intra and interdisciplinary perspective on wide ranging topics such as genetics innovations, biodiversity conservation and management, pest management innovations, public health, food safety and security, sustainable energy services and agriculture production, invasive species rising sharply because of increased trade, and policy issues in light of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to agriculture and development. The international experts from the discipline of plant and animal genetics and plant breeding, entomology, plant pathology, forestry, soil sciences, extension education, resource economics, aquaculture, water; agriculture industry and farmers and resultant availability and quality of food have contributed their research findings and experiences for wider discussion on these topics. vi 2.5 Effect of Agronomic Bio-fortification of Zn and Fe on Wheat Production and Economics

“…In addition, seeding depths played an important role in germination percentage, uniform germination and growth (Kibru et al, 2015 andChima et al, 2017) because when the seeds are sown too deep, the germination seeds are forced to push their tender shoots through the soil and the seedling may die or the seeds can not germinate due to lake oxygen, light and temperature fluctuation. Similarly, the seeds are sown too shallow, they may be dried and damaged by frost, birds and insects (Lal, 2003 andGholami et al, 2007).…”

“…leucocephala seeds suffer from dormancy due to presence hard seed coat, so to enhance germination percentage, speed germination and uniform germination; they need special treatments to break the dormancy (Tadros et al, 2011). Depth of seed sowing is another important factor affecting the germination and consequently the seedling growth (Lal, 2003 andKibru et al, 2015).…”

Leucaena leucocephala (Lam) de wit is an evergreen shrub or tree with a fairly open, rounded crown; it can grow from 5 -20 meters tall. The tree species used for several agricultural purposes in the Mediterranean region. The seeds of this species exhibit dormancy due to presence hard seed coat, causing delayed germination. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of seed pre-treatments, seeding depths and their interaction on the germination, growth and biomass parameters of L. leucocephala. This study was conducted in the glass-house. The seeds were exposed to three pre-treatments: control (T1), scarification (T2), and soaking in hot water for 12 hours (T3), then the seeds were sown in 1cm and 2cm deep. Germination percentage (%) and growth performance were measured. The results showed that soaking in hot water and sowing in 1 cm deep had a great effect on the germination and early growth of L. leucocephala. Thus, for maximum germination and initial vigorous seedlings growth of L. leucocephala, the present study suggests that the seeds should be immersed in hot water and left for 12 hours and then planted in 1 cm deep.
