【 摘 要 】

Fennel is a plant belongingto the Apiacea (Umbelliferae) family, andused by humans for a long time formedicinal purposes. In order to evaluatethe influence of different materials ongermination and seedling growth of threecultivars of fennel, an experiment wasconducted in 2018. The cultivars of fennelwere Isfahan, Yazd, and Shiraz in mainplots, and three materials including100% soil, 50% diatomite + 50% soil, and100% diatomite in subplots, wereanalyzed in a split plot experiment basedon a randomized complete block design(CRBD) with three replications. Thehighest total germination percentage,coefficient of velocity of germination,epicotile length, fresh epicotile weightand dry epicotile weight was related toIsfahan. The maximum speed ofgermination, mean germination time,fresh length and dry leaf weight wasachieved in Shiraz cultivar. The highervalues of total germination percentage,speed of germination and meangermination time were related to100% soil, while application of 50% ofsoil + 50% of diatomite had obtained themaximum values of radicle length,epicotile length, fresh epicotile weight,dry leaf weight and dry epicotile weight.The maximum values of coefficient ofvelocity of germination and fresh leafweight was achieved in application of100% diatomite. It seems that applicationof 50% soil + 50% diatomite and Isfahanand Shiraz cultivars have a great potentialof seed germination of seedling growth.
