Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 12
Abstract
In this study, the stimulative effect of different doses of essential oil from eucalyptus plant was investigated. In the study, the effects of Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh) oil on the seed germination and vegetative development of tomato (Riogrande F1, H-2274 cv.), pepper (Üç Burun cv., Demre Sivrisi cv.) and eggplant (Aydın Siyahı cv., Topan cv.) plantlets were investigated. For this purpose, four different concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 μl/petri) of oil were applied to seeds placed in petri dishes. After germination percentages and germination rates were determined, average plant weight (mm), shoot length (mm), root length (mm), shoot and root weights (g) of the plantlets obtained at the end of the study were measured. As a result of the statistical analysis of the obtained data, it was determined that the best germination percentage in tomato cultivars [Rio Grande F1 (95%) H-2274 (100%)], pepper (Üç Burun cv. and Demre Sivrisi cv. 92%) and eggplant (Topan cv. 93%) were obtained from 0.2μl application. Considering the effect of applications on vegetative growth criteria, it was detected that the effect of 0.1μl dose was better than the other applications on the root and shoot length, root, shoot and plant fresh weight for both tomato cultivars. On the other hand 0.2μl ocaliptus oil application On the other hand, the effect of 0.2 μl eucalyptus oil application on the growth of plantlets has been found to be more advantageous in pepper (Üç Burun cv. and Demre Sivrisi cv.) and eggplant (Topan cv.) cultivars.
