Effects of maternal plant nutrition on the absorption of some nutritional elements, enzyme activity and germination characteristics of Anise (Pimpinella anisun L.)

To study the germination of seeds of anise harvested from the mother plant under different fertilizer treatments experiment completely randomized design with 17 treatments and 4 replications was conducted in the laboratory of seed technology of Yasouj university. Treatments were concluded: Pure vermicompost (0, 5, 10 ton. ha-1) and bio fertilizers Azotobacter (Barvar-1), biological phosphorus (Barvar-2) and mixed of Barvar-1and Barvar-2, chemical nitrogen, bio fertilizers of nano and mixing treatments of vermicompost 2.5, 5, 7.5 tons. ha-1 with biological fertilizers Barvar-1, 2 and mixing of Barvar-1, 2. Results showed that the maximum α-Amylase activity was obtained by applying 7.5 tons. ha-1 vermicompost with Barvar-1, 2 and urea. The minimum values α-Amylase activity was obtained from the control treatment. The maximum percentage (92%) and rate (2.07 seed per day) of germination was belonged to the urea treatment. The maximum Seedling Length vigor index was observed in integrated treatment using organic fertilizers and biological value (9.73), showing no significant difference with urea fertilizer (9.71). Finally these results showed that the use of vermicompost and bio-fertilizers, particularly of 10 tons per hectare with the combined application of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and nitrogen stabilizer Could be as a alternative treatment for increase the absorption of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus through seed germination, leading to an improvement of the germination index in anise plant.
