Abstract
The basic prerequisite for successful species breeding depends on seed germination, environmental conditions during production and genotype studied varieties. The first objective of the research was to determine the influence of varieties on seed germination and transplant quality of three lettuce varieties (Lactuca sativa) The May Queen, Attraction and Brazilian, grown in a greenhouse of College in Slavonski Brod. The experiment was set in four repetitions with 100 seeds planted in containers with 104 pots filled with substrate for transplant production and irrigated with tap water. A highly significant (p≤0.01) impact of the variety of salads was established on all measured characteristics (germination, the length of the above-ground parts of transplant, transplant root length, total length of transplants and transplants mass). Correlation relationship between the weight and length of transplants of lettuce The May Queen was also established. The second objective of this study was to determine the difference in germination and transplants quality of the savory (Satureja hortensis) seeds of two manufacturers. Transplants were grown in a greenhouse of College in Slavonski Brod. The experiment was set up in four repetitions x 50 seeds. Containers with 104 pots filled with a growing medium transplants. Tap water used for irrigation when was necessary. No significant (p≤0.01) difference was established between the two seed producers in all measured characteristics (germination, the length of the above-ground parts of transplants, transplants root length, total length of the transplants, and the mass of transplants.
