INVESTIGATION OF SEED GERMINATION OF Trifolium alexandrinum L. CULTIVARS SEEDS IN RESPONSE TO POTASS

Berseem/Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum) is a type of clover with a high nutritional value for humans and is also used as cow feed. T. alexandrinum is one of the most often used forages on the planet. Water scarcity and the resulting abiotic stress have an impact on seed germination. The seeds of T. alexandrinum cultivars Bundel Berseem-1 (BB1), Bundel Berseem-2 (BB2), and Bundel Berseem-3 (BB3) were germinated in a variety of K2SO4 and MgSO4 salts with salt concentrations ranging from 0 mM, 25 mM, 50 mM, 75 mM, 100 mM, and 150 mM. Up to 50 mM salt concentration, there was essentially no deviating reaction, but when the tested cultivars were subjected to more than 50 mM and started reaching 100 mM and 150 mM, significant variances in the rate of germination for the tested cultivars were seen. The TI of the measured radicle, plumule, and cotyledonary leaf were all found to be different. According to the research, BB1 is a susceptible cultivar, while BB2 and BB3 are more salt tolerant than BB1.
