Abstract

In order to study the effect of seeds priming with nano molybdenum oxide on germination and growth of seedlings of pinto beans, a completely randomized design was carried out in three replications in Seed Laboratory of Mohaghegh Ardabili University. The treatments consisted of seeds priming with nano molybdenum oxide at three concentrations of 25, 50 and 75 mg/l for 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours, and control seeds. The results showed that the priming of bean seeds with nano molybdenum oxide percent and germination rate, mean germination time, mean length and seedling dry weight had a significant effect. Among the treatments, the lowest germination and seedling growth were observed in control treatment. Between seed priming at concentrations of 50 and 75 mg/l of nano molybdenum oxide for 24 hours and 25 mg/l of nano molybdenum oxide in 48 hours, Compared to the rest of seed priming, seedling growth and germination indices had the highest effect on pinto bean seedlings. Therefore, this increase indicates that the priming of nano molybdenum oxide effectively improves seed vigor and seedling establishment and as a key factor, can be used to improve the germination and growth of pinto bean seedlings.
