Proceeding of the 4 rd International Symposium“NEW RESEARCH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY” USAMV Bucharest, Romania, 2011INFLUENCE OF PRE-SOWING TREATMENT OF SORGHUM SEEDSWITH MICROELEMENTS ON THE GERMINATION AND GROWTH OFPLANTS IN THE INITIAL STAGES OF THEIR DEVELOPMENTSVILEN RAYKOV, MARIELA ANDREEVA, MILENA SIMEONOVAUniversity of Shumen “K. Preslavski”, e-mail: rajkov_svilen@abv.bgAbstract. Container tests with sorghum seeds soaked for 24 hours in solutions with concentration20mg/l of the following substances - ZnSO 4 , MnSО 4 , H 3 BO 3 , CuSo 4 , MgSO 4 , and control sample –with water - were carried out, after which 50 seeds were planted. The germination has been reportedand after gathering of the test plants, the length of their roots and aboveground mass and the weightof the fresh and dried biomass.Based on the reported data it has been determined that the highest germination is present in theoption treated with MgSO 4 and in the control sample (92%), followed by the options with H 3 BO 3 (88%) и CuSO 4 (84%), and the lowest germination was with seeds, treated with MgSO 4 (80%) andZnSO 4 (78%).The pre-sowing treatment with ZnSO 4 and with CuSO 4 stimulates the development of the root system(respectively 49% and 20% longer than the control sample’s roots), and with H 3 BO 3 – of theaboveground mass (12% higher than the control samples).Microelements stimulate the accumulation of more water in plant tissue.Keywords: seeds, sorghum, microelements, germination1. INTRODUCTIONLately a lot of works from different scientists, showing the ability to increaseyields of many plants by pre-sowing treatment of seeds with different microelementssolutions, have appeared ( Peeran, SN and Natanasabapathy, S., 1980; Khalid, BY andMalik, NSA, 1982; Sherrell, CG.,1984; Marcar, NE and Graham, RD (1986; ). Somemicroelements have the ability to join up with specific proteins and form biocatalysts –vitamins and metallo enzymes, which stand out with their very high biological activity andplay an important role in the growth and development of plants (Shkolnik, M. Y. andMakarova, N. A. 1957).In the late 30s Russian scientists P.A. Vlasyuk and I.K. Onishtenko conduct thefirst research on the influence of Zn feeding on plants and prove its positive role. Theydetermine that plants have the higher Zn needs in the early phases of growth and formingand development of the germ.Bondarenko (1956) carried out tests with which he proves the great effectivenessof boron fertilization of carbonate black earth.The issue of the influence of pre-sowing treatment of seeds with microelements onthe activity of root micro flora also deserves attention. In this respect the experiments ofRahno (1950) which show an increase of microorganisms in the risosphere of roots, andwith them of physiological processes of the plants, is of interest.Some researchers (Kornilov, A.F. and Deeva V.P., 1955) think that pre-sowingtreatment of seeds is a type of root fertilization but in fact pre-sowing treatment of plants63
