Valorificarea lichidului cultural al cianobacteriei spirulina platensis pentru germinarea seminţelor de Galega orientalis lam. menţinute în colecţii

Abstract

Following quantitative research, it was found that treating Galega orientalis L. seeds with a biostimulant derived from the cultural liquid of the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis over 3 years significantly improved germination capacity and germination index, while the relative root elongation had a lesser impact. The optimal concentration of 4% and exposure for 4 hours resulted in the highest germination rates (50,00%) and germination index (10,0) compared to the control group (FG – 33,00% and IG – 6,6). These findings suggest that cyanobacterial biostimulants could effectively enhance seed germination and conserve species in seed collections, potentially benefiting agricultural practices.
