Luba 2.[Method] The seeds of Luba 2 were separately soaked in 20%,40%,60% and 80% hydrogen peroxide solution for 2,5 and 10 min before seed germination.The germination rate and days to reach the maximum germination rate were calculated.[Result] Treatment with low concentrations (20%) of hydrogen peroxide for 2 and 5 min made eggplant Luba 2 germinate in advance,and shortened the time to reach the maximum germination rate.Treatment with high concentrations (60% and 80%) of hydrogen peroxide solution for longer time (10 min) caused significant damage to the seeds,delayed seed germination,and reduced the germination rate.[Conclusion] This study will provide theoretical references for the production practices of eggplant.展开更多
