摘要
[Objective] To find a processing method to increase germination rate of Wada alfalfa seeds. [Method] Five processing methods were used to treat Wada alfaffa seeds, including immersion in hot water, immersion in 98% concentrated sulfuric acid, immersion in 100 g/L potassium nitrate, immersion in hot water after rubbing seed capsule, immersion in 30% （ V~ V） hydrogen peroxide. After treatment, germination energy, germination rate, germination index and vitality index were detected. [ Result] The Wada alfaffa seeds immersed in 25℃ water for 25 min after rubbing seed capsule had the highest germination rate （81.3%）, followed by that of seeds immersed in 100 g/L potassium nitrate for 2 h, that of seeds immersed in 50℃ water, and that of seeds immersed in 30% hydrogen peroxide for 5 min in order. The worst germination appeared in the seeds im- mersed in 98% concentrated sulfuric acid. [ Conclusion] Immersion in 25℃ water for 25 min after rubbing seed capsule is the best method to increase germination rate of Wada alfaffa seeds.
