Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study was aimed to\ndetermine the effect of the water extract of the mistletoe plant on seeds\ngermination of its two main hosts (Amygdalus<\/em> communis<\/em> and A<\/em>.\norientalis<\/em>), and to evaluate the continuous effect of the extract on seedling growth which emergence from treated seeds.\nCompletely randomized design was used with three replications. The treatments\nwere the control besides the treated ones with mistletoe’s leaves extract with a\nratio of 50 g ground dried leaves\/L). The mistletoe leaves were collected from\nAl Kalamoun and Sweida sites from parasitic plants on several hosts during\nspring of 2018. The normal and oriental almonds which were collected from Al\nKalamoun site during 2017 season were used. The study was conducted at the\nlaboratories of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering in Aleppo University\nand the Agricultural Scientific Research Center in Aleppo. The results showed that the treated seeds with mistletoe\nextract affected negatively the percentage of germination of both normal and\noriental almonds (73.3 and 20.0%), as compared to the control (90 and 53.3%)\nrespectively. Also, the effect of the mistletoe extract was negative on the\naverage of the vegetative area of the plants, where it was decreased in the\noriental almonds by 26% and by 16.2% in the normal almonds. The average growth\nrate of the normal almond plant was faster than that of the oriental almonds in length and leaf area. Therefore, the highest effect of mistletoes on\nthe normal almond seedlings was observed on the vegetative length (19%). While\nthe highest effect of mistletoe extract on oriental almonds was observed on the\nleaf area (26%). The effect of mistletoe extract was higher on wet weight of\nthe seedlings than that of the dry matter weight, while, the dry matter accumulated in the oriental almond seedlings\nwas affected more than the normal almond seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
