Abstract:
Laboratory experiments were performed to determine the effect of various scarification
treatments at four temperature regimes on germination of licorice seeds . A randomized
complete block design with four replications was used. Germination counts were made
every day for ۲ weeks. At ۵۰C, none of the chemically and mechanically scarified and non
scarified seeds germinated. At ۱۵, ۲۵, and ۳۵۰C, mechanical scarification increased seed
germination to ۹۴-۹۸%. However, at these temperatures, velocity of germination of mechanically
scarified seeds were lowest among all treatments. Chemical scarification also
increased germination percentage significantly to ۹۰-۹۵% with ۴۵ min soaking. At ۱۵ and
۲۵۰C, seed germination percentage and velocity of germination increased as the soaking
time in sulfuric acid increased from ۵ to ۳۰, ۴۵, or ۶۰ min. However, at ۳۵۰C, there was no
difference in germination percentage between soaking times of ۵ and ۶۰ min. It appears
that soaking for ۴۵ min provides full germination at ۲۵ and ۳۵۰C.
