Abstract

The effects of different concentrations of effective microorganism(EM) diluents on seed germination and seedling characters of maize variety Nongda 108 were studied in order to select the optimum concentration of EM for soaking maize seed.The results showed that seed soaking with EM can increase germination energy and germination rate,promote growth of maize,increase plant height,stem wide,leaf area and quality of maize seedlings.The 1/500 EM solution is the best concentration for soaking maize seeds.
