“…The fewer days to emergence (22.75 and 21.45) by were detected soaking in GA 3 followed by yeast extract (24.85 and 23.47) compared with the control (water) , respectively during both seasons of growth. Such promoting effect of soaking generally on speedy germination and early emergence may be attributed to the mobilize antioxidant enzymes which subordinate per oxidation in seeds which retain seed vigor causing earlier emergence (Saleem et al, 2014). Obtained results of soaking garlic cloves in GA 3 are in conformity with those found by Takagi (1990), Rahman et al, (2006 and2008) and Woldeyes et al, (2017) who stated that seedling emergence in garlic has been enhanced by cloves treated with GA 3 .…”

September and 1 st October, pre-sowing treatments by soaking cloves, i.e. 250 ppm GA 3 , yeast extract (4g L-1) and water (control) as well as four different sources and applications of potassium fertilizer, i.e. foliar spray of liquid potassium (37.5% K 2 O), Potassium humate or thiosulphate at 3 mlL-1 integrated with the half recommended dose of potassium (48 kg K 2 O/fed) for each as soil dressing and their interactions beside the control treatment(96kgK 2 O/fed)as soil dressing only without any foliar application on germination, growth, productivity and storability of garlic cv. Sids-40. The acquired results indicate generally that, early sowing date 15 th Sep. had enhancing effects on germination percentage, number of days to emergence, vegetative growth characters, yield and its components, as well as, quality and storability of bulbs. Soaking cloves at 250 ppm of GA 3 for 12 hours as pre-sowing treatment increased the morphological traits, yield and its components, the chemical composition of plant and cloves as well as bulb storability. Foliar spray of potassium humate or thiosulphate at 3 mlL-1 with 48kg K 2 O/fed as soil dressing showed superior performance of all studied parameters. The best interaction values of most plant growth characteristics, i.e. plant height, No. of leaves, fresh and dry weight/plant, diameter of neck and bulb as well as bulbing ratio and yield components, i.e. physical characters of bulb, i.e. fresh and dry weight of bulb, fresh weight of clove and No. of cloves/bulb as well as total yield, exportable and marketable yield/fed and plant chemical composition, i.e. N, P and K content, cloves quality, i.e. N, P, K and total carbohydrates content as well as decreasing weight loss of bulbs during storage period were obtained by soaking Sep. and spraying plants with 3 mlL-1 of potassium humate or thiosulphate with 48 kg K 2 O/fed as soil dressing. Conclusively, planting on 15 th of September after soaking cloves for 12 hours at 250 ppm of GA 3 and fertilized plants with 48 kg K 2 O/fed as soil dressing combined with spraying 3mlL-1 with potassium humate or thiosulphate considered as much cheaper, easier and saver technique compared with the traditional methods of application of potassium fertilizer ,could be recommended to produce the higher production and quality of garlic crop.

“…It has been reported that bitter gourd has low germination and field emergence due to thick coat and unfavorable environmental condition i.e., mildew during germination and variation in temperature (Peter et al, 1998;Saleem et al, 2014). Present research was conducted to investigate the effect of MF pre-sowing seed treatment on the germination, growth, and yield attributes of bitter gourd.…”

“…Bitter gourd grows in various tropical regions of the world i.e., India, Malaya, China, tropical Africa, Middle East, America (Kubola and Siriamornpun, 2008) and it is one of the most important summer vegetables in Pakistan as well. Generally, bitter gourd growing season in Pakistan and India is January to June and now-a-days, it is usually grown as an annual crop (Saleem et al, 2014). Optimum temperature of 25 À 28°C is required for the germination of bitter gourd seeds and in Pakistani region temperature remains high except short winter season.…”

“…Área foliar, materia seca de hojas y materia seca total. Para estas variables se presentó un comportamiento gráfico de curva simple sigmoide (Figuras 1, 2 y 3), el cual ha sido reportado también para otras variables del crecimiento en el fruto de M. charantia como longitud, diámetro y acumulación de materia seca con el cultivar Moon Shine (Kuo et al, 2012) De acuerdo con lo anterior, se observó que el remojo de semillas en agua TA durante 24 horas (T3) mejoró el proceso de crecimiento de las plantas durante su fase de semillero, ya que en dicho cultivo, uno de los principales inconvenientes para la emergencia en campo lo constituye el retraso en el crecimiento que provoca el elevado grosor de la cubierta de las semillas (Saleem et al, 2014)…”

“…Respecto a los tratamientos aplicados, el comportamiento descrito a través del análisis de crecimiento, para la mayor acumulación de materia seca por fotosíntesis se basa en que el remojo de semillas en agua provee superior germinación, emergencia y establecimiento del cultivo y puede contribuir al crecimiento vigoroso en las primeras etapas, como es el caso del semillero, además de temprana floración, madurez y aumento en el rendimiento (Saleem et al, 2014y Gölükcü et al, 2014.…”

Esta investigación se real i zó en el campo experi mental de cult ivos de hortal i zas de la Universidad de Córdoba, Colombia, con el objetivo de analizar el crecimiento de plántulas de balsamina Momordica charantia L. obtenidasa partir de semillas sometidas a tratamientos pre-siembra, ya que su cubierta es demasiado gruesa y provoca retraso en el crecimiento. Se utilizó el diseño completamente al azar. Las semillas después de extraídas de la planta se sometieron a los siguientes tratamientos: T1 (Testigo), T2 (semillas lavadas a temperatura ambiente (TA) y T3 (semillas remojadas en agua a TA durante 24 horas). Las variables estudiadas fueron área foliar (AF), materia seca de hojas (MSH), materia seca total (MST), tasa absoluta de crecimiento (TAC), tasa relativa de crecimiento (TRC), tasa de asimilación neta (TAN), área foliar específica (AFE), índice de área foliar (IAF), relación de área foliar (RAF) y relación de peso foliar (RPF). Se encontró una trayectoria sigmoide, ajustada al modelo logístico en AF, MSH y MST. Respecto a AF y MST, el tratamiento tres superó a los demás a los 15, 21 y 24 días después de la siembra (dds). Con relación a TAC, AFE, RAF y RPF se observó una gráfica de distribución normal. Para T3 hubo mayor TAC a los 16 dds (0,023 g∙día-1). Respecto a TAN y TRC, se observó comportamiento decreciente en el tiempo. El IAF fue mayor para T3 durante toda la fase de semillero.
