Abstract

In order to study the effect of some seed pretreatment on yield and grain quality characteristics of Amaranthus hypochondriacus L, an experiment was concluded using six treatments based on randomized completely block design with three replications in research field of Urmia University on 2014 cropping season. Treatments were including seed priming of pigeon manure (one in 10), concentrated vaniaz (68.39 precent) (three in 1000) super micro nano chelate fertilizer (three in 1000), magnetic water, homeopathy 12x and control. The seeds were soaked in the solution of listed treatments for eight hours; thereafter, seeds were brought to the initial moisture content for 24 hours at 25C. Seeds were sown in the field and harvested at the maturity time. Results showed that pretreatment of magnetic water increased seed yield, biomass yield, phosphorus, oil percent, oil yield, palmitic and stearic fatty acids by 22.31, 17.71, 25.5, 20.6, 36.6, 12.7, 22.2 percent compared with control. The highest value in oleic and linoleic fatty acid was obtained for nano chelat fertilizer. The treatments created more favorable conditions than control condition due to the increasing the percentage of germination, seedling growth and establishment under field condition. According to the current study, using magnetic water and nano chelat pretreatment had positive effects on the yield and quantitative characteristics more than the other treatments.
