Irrigation variation in Pisum sativum and Lens culinaris seedlings

Abstract

In order to study the water requirements of agricultural species in the vegetative stage, this study aimed to assess the effect and variation of irrigation on seedling growth of Pisum sativum and Lens culinaris in equal conditions of substrate and light. Five treatments and 3 replicates were performed for each of the species. It was found that the lentils presented significant differences in relation to height and leaf production, it was also obtained that presented a suboptimal value with the least amount of water reaching its permanent wilting point, compared to the pea, which did not present alterations in its
growth and leaf production. The results show that the variation of irrigation have an effect on the growth of seedlings of Pisum sativum and Lens culinaris in equal conditions of substrate and light, which can be evidenced in the production of leaves, height, and root length in each plant, which leads to knowledge of irrigation, and thus be able to generate urban planting strategies.
