Abstract
Effect of seed polishing as well as washing was done to see germination quality of sugar beet seed. For this purpose, a three factorial experiment was carried out within a randomized completely design in laboratory condition. The first factor was six amounts of seed polishing (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% removing of seed coat or rubbing). The second factor included seven levels of washing duration (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes) by distilled water. And the third factor was viability of seeds after polishing and washing where their germination was tested immediately after those treatments as well as after storage of them in a room temperature for six months. The experiment was run both in laboratory. The result showed that germination traits were significantly affected both by seed polish and washing. Polishing in amount of 10 and 15% increased germination percentage. Washing of seeds for 60 and 150 minutes also improved germination percentage as well. Investigation of viability demonstrated that no significant difference was observed between the storage times after the treatments.
