Abstract :
Since sowing depth has remarkable impact on germination, seedling emergence and establishment, it is extremely important in the restoration and reclamation programs of rangelands. Sainfoin (Onobrychis) is one of the most important forage species that is protective or as plants attract bees are very important. In this study, the effect of sowing depth at 4 levels (0/5 (control), 1.5, 3 and 4.5 cm) on germination and emergence of a randomized complete block design with four replications Sainfoin under greenhouse conditions was conducted. The seeds were planted in pots and after the seedlings grow, their number and character count of germination (the root, shoot and seedling, seed vigor, percentage and speed of germination, root and shoot dry weight how), measurement and data using analysis of variance, Duncan and Dunnett were statistically analyzed. Results showed that the treatments have significant impact on germination and seedling growth characteristics such as weight and root dry weight and shoot (P≤ 0.05), germination percentage, germination rate, root length, speed of germination, seedling length, during the shoot (P≤ 0.01). Results also showed that among the four treatments, less sowing depth is much better than more sowing depth. According to the findings, it can be concluded that sowing depth seems to be necessary in rangeland improvement and paying more attention to sowing depth can play an important role in improvement programs of rangelands.
