Abstract. Seeds of three local varieties from the field crops i.e. wheat
(Baladi, Qassimi and Ucorra Rojo), alfalfa (Mekawi, Hassawi and
Sabkhawi) and sesame (Mekawi, Gizan and Taefi) besides one local
variety from the vegetable crops, tomatoes (Baladi), cucumber
(Baladi) and eggplant (Baladi) were evaluated. Recommended
partitioning processings were done on the seed samples to form the
purity sample. Purity, moisture, germination and germination vigor
tests were done according to ISTA (1993) and AOSA (1996).
Purity of the wheat varieties ranged from 95,99% to 97,73% and
for alfalfa varieties ranged from 87,89% of Sabkhawi to 92,52% of
Makawi. Purity range of sesame varieties was 89,56% for Gizan cv, to
93,65% for Makawi. The highest weed was associated with alfalfa
varieties: 5,94% in Hasawi and 5,54% in Sabkhawi varieties. As for
vegetable crops varieties, the highest germination appeared in
cucumber Baladi variety (98,21%), followed by eggplant Baladi
variety (96,5%), then tomatoes Baladi variety (94,55%). Eggplant
seeds had the highest weed seeds (0,80%), followed by cucumber
(0,51%), then tomatoes (0,21%). As for lab germination test, Qassimi
variety produced the highest significant value in wheat varieties
(97,50%) and Makawi variety produced the highest value (95%) in
alfalfa. In sesame varieties, Makawi variety had the highest
germination (93,75%) but the highest abnormal seedling (5%) was
produced from Taefi sesame variety,
Under the salt stress irrigation, lab germination in wheat
varieties ranged from 92,5% for Qassimi to 81,25% for Baladi variety,
in alfalfa varieties the range was 87,5% to 82,5% and in sesame
92,25% to 75,75%. As for vegetable crops, the germination
percentages were 88,43%, 91,75% and 76,61% for tomatoes,
cucumber and eggplant, respectively. Under field conditions, the
germination percentages were 62%, 36% and 23% for the previous
three vegetable crops, respectively. The moisture content in wheat
varieties ranged from 11,58% to 10,21% and in alfalfa from 8% to
7,5%, while in sesame seeds moisture content ranged from 4,9% for
Makawi to 4,46% for Taefi variety. Moisture content in vegetable
seeds was 8,71%, 7,75% and 7,53% for cucumber, tomatoes and
eggplant varieties, respectively. |
