Abstract

This research was conducted in order to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of different organs of Ferula latisecta on the growth and germination traits of Triticum aestivum and Secale cereale in two separate experiments including the laboratory and the greenhouse conditions, respectively. The experiments were exerted based on a completely randomized design with three replications and randomized complete block design with four replications, respectively in Shirvan faculty of agriculture during 2023. The test treatments included aqueous extracts of Ferula latisecta in concentrations of 5, 10 and 15% of roots, 5, 10 and 15% of aerial organs and control (distilled water). The results showed that with increasing extract concentration, the germination and growth traits and total chlorophyll of both investigated plants significantly decreased. In such a way that the highest and lowest inhibition rates were associated with 15% root extract and 5% aerial organs extract, respectively. The antioxidant activity of Triticum aestivum and Secale cereale increased with increasing levels of root and stem extract of Ferula latisecta. The level of 15% Ferula latisecta stem and leaf extract in wheat decreased the germination percentage by 65.6% and in Secale cereale by 90% compared to the control. Increasing of extract concentration from zero to 15% of arial parts decreased root length decreased by 70.5% in Secale cereale and 51.3% in Triticum aestivum compared to the control. The highest level of antioxidant activity of the Secale cereale was observed at the levels of 10 and 15% of arial parts extract which were 66 and 75%, respectively. Examining the results showed that arial parts of Ferula latisecta were more capable of dealing with germination and seedling growth than the root. Therefore, 15% aqueous extract of Ferula latisecta stems and leaves can be suggested to reduce the growth and weakening of the Secale cereale.
