Plant Growth Hormones Increase the Stimulation Efficiency of Seedlings Development for Spring Wheat Seeds upon Pre-sowing Treatment.

The influence of pre-sowing treatment of spring wheat seeds with combined use of plant growth hormones and sorption preparations based on bentonite-humate mixtures on seeds germination and their development in soils was studied. In some cases, the combined use of plant growth hormones and the sorption preparation (CB-H-BYA) that can decrease the intake of allelotoxins from soil to seeds allows noticeably increasing the efficiency of plant growth hormones used for pre-sowing treatment. The inclusion of cytokinins (6-benzylaminopurine, kinetin, and forchlorophenuron) into the sorption preparation (CB-H-BYA) had markedly different effects on seeds germination. The addition of Polysorbate 20 to the sorption preparation (CB-H-BYA) leads to an increase in the effectiveness of its action on seed germination.
