Abstract: 

The experiment was carried out in the seed germination laboratory of the Department of Horticulture in the College of Agriculture for the year 2021, using the Emperada cultivar. The experiment contained 4compounds: Pyrex, Paw-Humus compound, Agroton compound, and extract. The experiment included six treatments (control: dry, untreated seeds, soaked seeds in plain water, soaked seeds in gibberellin acid solution concentration 10 mg/L, soaked seeds in organic humic nutrient solution concentration of 1 g/L,soaked seeds in non-organic nutrient solution Humic concentration 1.5 cm 3/ L, seeds soaked in a solution of marine algae extract (concentration 2g/L) in four replicates and at a rate of 100 seeds per replicate. Filled with peat moss, the results showed that soaking the seeds with the previous compounds led to activating seed germination and increasing seed vigor,  and that seaweed extract Alga 600 was significantly superior in increasing seed vigor and this was obvious in increasing plant height 19.5 cm, number of leaves 8.7 leaves, and tolerance to seedling shock by increasing the root/vegetative weight ratio 29.6%.

Key words: Soaking, Eggplant,Humic,Non Humic, Germination.
