| Abstract | Rice seeds cultivar (J-104) were treated with different chitosan concentrations (100, 500, 1000 y 2000 mg.L) during 24 hours of imbibition time. The germination of treated seeds was evaluated and the germination dynamics was recorded. In additions, treated seeds were planted on pots and then 20 days old seedlings were evaluated according the seedling height and fresh foliar mass Results shown, 1000 mg.L treated seeds germinated faster than other chitosan treatment and the control while rice seedlings from 2000 mg.L treated seeds have the greater values of seedling height with significant difference with the control treatment but not with the chitosan treatment. Seedlings from 2000 mg.L treated seeds had the greater foliar mass too. No significance differences were found between treatments but it was found that foliar mass increased while chitosan concentration was greater. |
