Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate seed physiological quality and initial pea (Pisum sativum) seedling development at different water and salt potentials. Polyethylene glycol 6000, sodium chloride and potassium chloride solutions with different osmotic potentials (0; –0.2; –0.4; –0.6; –0.8; –1.0, and –1.2 MPa) were used, and the experiment had a 3 × 7 factorial arrangement. The physiological quality and initial seedling growth characteristics (first germination count, final germination count, strong normal seedlings, epicotyl and taproot lengths, epicotyl dry matter, and root dry matter) were evaluated in a completely randomized experimental design, with four repetitions. Decreases in the observed variables showed that the simulated stress conditions negatively affected physiological performance, germination and initial seedling growth. The water and salt stresses induced by the sodium chloride and potassium chloride solutions were greater than the stress induced by polyethylene glycol 6000.
