Effects of Ginsenoside of Stems and Leaves on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Cucumber
In order to improve the quality of cucumber seedlings,the effects of ginsenoside of stems and leaves with different concentrations on cucumber seed germination and seedling growth were studied with cucumber"Jinyou 35"as the test material.The results showed that the optimum concen-tration of ginsenoside of stems and leaves could promote the germination of cucumber seeds,and the treatment with 50-100 mg/L was better.The seedling growth was well treated with 25-100 mg/L,which had certain promoting effects on plant height,stem diameter,aboveground dry weight,under-ground dry weight and strong seedling index.50-100 mg/L was beneficial to improve the root activ-ity,chlorophyll content,soluble sugar and soluble protein content of cucumber seedlings.150 mg/L and 200 mg/L were not conducive to seed germination and seedling growth of cucumber.The compre-hensive evaluation of the membership function showed that seed germination was best at 100 mg/L,and the comprehensive score was 0.941.Seedling growth was best at 50 mg/L,with a comprehensive score of 0.951.The results showed that 50-100 mg/L ginsenosides of stems and leaves could promote the germination of cucumber seeds and seedling growth.
