Effect of Soaking Wheat Seeds in Different Concentrations of Cobalt on Growth and Nutrient Status

الملخص

The research investigated agricultural production, dietary value, and stress adaptation effects of cobalt-compound-treated wheat seeds in some Libyan dry lands. The study examined the maximum impact on wheat seed development through four concentrations of cobalt solutions starting at 0 mg/L and reaching 10 mg/L. Researchers obtained their highest outcome evaluations from spraying wheat seeds with a Co-based solution at a concentration of 5 mg/L compared to other arrangements. Wheat maintained its drought resistance with its resistance to salinity stress and enhanced its uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium after receiving cobalt solutions. The plant specimens achieved their maximum productivity at 5 mg/L dilutions before exceeding this concentration level, which became toxic for the specimens. This study proves that seed soaking with a cobalt solution produces improved wheat yield outputs within dry land agricultural systems.
