The invention discloses an application of
artemisia dracunculus extract in stimulating broomrape seed
germination, which comprises the following steps of: extracting an
artemisia dracunculus extract,namely
drying artemisia dracunculus in the sun,
cutting the artemisia dracunculus into pieces, soaking, concentrating, extracting with a
solvent, and concentrating to obtain artemisia dracunculus extract; disinfecting the surfaces of broomrape seeds; carrying out pre-culture, namely laying qualitative
filter paper and
glass fiber filter paper in a culture dish, evenly scattering the disinfected broomrape seeds on the
glass fiber filter paper, carrying out sealing, and carrying out constant-temperature dark culture; carrying out a broomrape seed
germination experiment, namely, adding
methanol to dilute the artemisia dracunculus extract, soaking the filter paper,
drying the filter paper, paving the qualitative filter paper in a culture dish, and soaking the qualitative filter paper; and putting the dried filter paper on the qualitative filter paper, selecting pre-cultured broomrape seeds, sealing, and carrying out constant-temperature dark culture. The artemisia dracunculus extract can efficiently stimulate broomrape seeds to germinate in advance, broomrape suicide
germination is caused due to the fact that hosts cannot be found in time for adsorption life of the seeds, and the artemisia dracunculus extract can be effectively used for biological control work of broomrape
parasitic weeds.
