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

A laboratory experiment was carried out at the\nlaboratories of Field Crops Department, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, Al-Furat\nUniversity, during the growing season of 2016\/2017 according to the randomized\ncomplete block design, in order to study the effect of different seed  seeds sizes on some growth traits, and\nproductivity of the dry matter of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor<\/em> L. Moench)\nvar. (Izraa-7). The experiment included three sizes of the seeds viz. (3.0-3.5)\nmm (small), (3.6-4.0) mm (medium) and large (4.0) mm, besides three seed\ntreatments; the control treatment which was (T1) and represented the dry seeds,\n(T2) where seeds were soaked with distilled water for (10) hours and (T3) where\nseeds were soaked with potassium chloride with a concentration of (4) g\/L for (12)\nhours, with four replicates per treatment. The results showed the superiority\nof the treatment (T3) in the initial and final germination percentages, length\nof radical (cm), length of epicotyls (cm), dry weight of the seedling (mg),\n(74.0)% (84.8)% (11.79) cm (13.3) (cm) and (14.8) mg, respectively. Also the\ntreatment of seeds with the larger seed size (4.0) mm outperformed the other\ntreatments in the same previous indicators; initial germination percentage, and\nthe final and the length of radical (cm), the length of epicotyls (cm), dry\nweight of the seedling (mg) as follow (71.03)%, (84.8)%, (11.0)%, (12.73) cm\nand (15.8) mg respectively. In terms of the interaction between the two factors,\nthe treatment (T3) with the largest seed size (4.0) mm, outperformed the other\ntreatments in initial and final germination percentages, length of radical\n(cm), length of epicotyls (cm) dry weight of the seedling (mg), as follow\n(77.4%), (88.2)%, (11.7) cm and (18.5) mg, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
