Abstract :

In order to investigate the compounds and anti-injury properties of the medicinal plant Anghuzeh on the germination of the seeds of two weeds, red root crown and wild oat, a research was carried out in the form of 4 separate experiments in 2022 in the seed technology laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture of Birjand University in a factorial form in a completely randomized design in three replications. were implemented The factors of the experiments included two types of angouzeh juice (bitter and sweet) with concentrations of 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1000 micrograms/liter. Also, a control (zero concentration of the stimulus) was considered next to the main experiments. In the first two experiments, the ethanolic extract was used and in the next two experiments, the aqueous extract of angouzeh powder was used separately on two weeds. The results showed that the use of aqueous extracts of both types of bitter and sweet angoose more than the ethanolic extract decreased the germination characteristics of the seeds of both weeds, and the concentration of 1000 µg/liter of both types of angoose juice in both extract. In all the experiments, the germination speed of the seeds of both redroot pigweed and oat plants was less strongly affected by the concentrations of angouzeh juice compared to other traits. In general, the results showed that the aqueous extract of both types of bitter and sweet angoose had a greater effect on the germination characteristics of the seeds of two types of weed.
