Abstract

The work was carried out to test the seed vigour test to correlate seedling emergence potential of rocket seed lots in the field conditions. Standard laboratory germination percentages of the 12 seed lots were ranged between 87 and 93%. Radicle emergence (2 mm) percentages after 18 (RE18h), 24 (RE24h), 36 (RE36h) and 48 (RE48h) during standard germination test, accelerated ageing test (AA, 45 °C, 100% RH, 24h, 48h), electrical conductivity (20 °C, 40 ml, 50 seeds) of 8h, 16h and 24h readings were used as vigour tests. Seeds were sown in two occasions in the field and vigour test results were correlated with seedling emergence percentages. Even though all seed vigour tests were significantly correlated with emergence at various levels EC24h and RE24h showed the highest correlation (p<0.001) with seedling emergence percentages in both sowing times. Correlation values were 0.824 and 0.844 in EC24h, 0.860 and 0.874 in RE24h.The lowest correlations were seen in standard laboratory germination test as 0.640 and 0.654 (p<0.05). Results indicated that EC24h and RE24h are practical and fast vigour tests that can be related to seedling emergence potential in rocket seed lots.
