Abstract

In tropical pulses such as Mung bean use of zeolite due to keep of moisture is important. To study of effects of seed pelleting with zeolite and seed priming with Iron chelate on protein and grain yield of Mung bean cultivars in Ahvaz conditions, an experiment was conducted as a factorial in Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with three replication in experimental farm of the Ramin University in August 2011. Factors included Culture System Optimization (CSO) in six levels, zeolite + seed priming (O1), Zeolite (O2), seed pelleting + seed priming (O3), seed pelleting (O4), seed priming (O5) and control (O6) with three Mung bean cultivars included Hendi (C1), NM-54 (C2) and VC11-18b (C3). The results showed that cultivar was a significant effect on all of the evaluated traits; however the effects of CSO and interaction of cultivar and CSO on all traits except grain weight and number of seed per pod were significant. Hendi cultivar with high grain weight and number of seed per pod was showed a high potential in the production of yield components. The highest seed protein content was obtained in zeolite application in all of three cultivars. Production of the highest biological yield in Hendi seed primed was the promising of green manure planting.
