| Abstract | ||
| This study concentrates on evaluating the impact of cyanobacterium alga extract prepared from Spirulina platensis on seeds germination of (wheat) Triticum aestivum and (Lupin) Lupinus termis. Seeds of the previous plants were primed with Spirulina liquid extract (SLE) in 2.0% extract strength. In general, SLE induced the maximum positive magnitude of response in the following three germination parameters such as: length, weight, and counting of the germinating seeds for both T. aestivum and L. termis. The maximum counting of the germinating seeds (1.46 and 0.96) and weight the germinating seeds (0.83 and1.87 g) and length the germinating seeds (6.36 and 3.87cm) of T. aestivum and L. termis seeds respectively , This study proves the effectiveness of (SLE) in functioning as a plant biostimulant for enhancing seed germination and growth parameters for T. aestivum and L. termis. | ||
