اثر کاربرد سولفات پتاسیم و عصاره جلبک دریایی بر محتوای رنگدانه‌های فتوسنتزی برگ و برخی مواد موثره کلالة زعفران (crocus sativus l.)

عناصر غذایی از عوامل مهم موثر بر رشد گیاه و کیفیت کلاله‌ زعفران می باشند. در این آزمایش اثر مصرف خاکی سولفات پتاسیم و محلول پاشی برگی عصاره جلبک دریایی، بر محتوای رنگدانه های فتوسنتزی برگ و مواد موثره کلاله‌ زعفران بررسی شد. این تحقیق در سال های 98-1397 به صورت آزمایش فاکتوریل در قالب طرح پایه‌ بلوک های کامل تصادفی با سه تکرار در شهرستان سریان اجرا گردید. فاکتورهای آزمایش شامل چهار سطح سولفات پتاسیم (صفر، 100، 200 و 300 کیلوگرم در هکتار) و سه سطح عصاره جلبک دریایی آکادین (صفر، 1 و 2 در هزار) بودند. صفات اندازه گیری شده شامل محتوای آنتی اکسیدان، فنول، آنتوسیانین، کروسین، پیکروکروسین و سافرانال کلاله و نیز مقادیر کلروفیل a، کلروفیل b، کلروفیل کل و کارتنوئید برگ بودند. بیشترین مقادیر پیکروکروسین، سافرانال و فعالیت آنتی اکسیدانی در تیمار مصرف تلفیقی 300 کیلو گرم در هکتار سولفات پتاسیم همراه با محلول پاشی عصاره جلبک با غلظت دو در هزار بدست آمد که به ترتیب 32.8، 32.9 و 21.1 درصد بیشتر از تیمار شاهد (عدم مصرف عصاره جلبک و سولفات پتاسیم) بود. بیشترین مقادیر کلروفیل a، کلروفیل b، کلروفیل کل و کاروتنوئید (به ترتیب 0.17، 0.037، 1.99 و 1.01 میلی گرم در گرم وزن تر) در شرایط مصرف تلفیقی سطوح 100 تا 300 کیلوگرم در هکتار سولفات پتاسیم همراه با سطوح 1 یا 2 در هزار عصاره‌ جلبک دریایی به دست آمد که به ترتیب 54.5، 60.8، 131.3 و 68.3 درصد در مقایسه با تیمار شاهد برتری داشت. افزایش کاربرد سولفات پتاسیم از صفر به 300 کیلوگرم در هکتار مقدار کروسین را تا سه برابر و مقدار آنتوسیانین را 8.9 درصد بهبود بخشید. همچنین، مقدار کروسین و آنتوسیانین در شرایط مصرف عصاره‌ جلبک دریایی با غلظت دو در هزار به ترتیب 166.7 و 12.7 درصد بیشتر از تیمار عدم مصرف عصاره‌ جلبک بود. در نهایت در محدوده پژوهش انجام شده، کاربرد تلفیقی سولفات پتاسیم و عصاره جلبک دریایی جهت بهبود صفات بیوشیمیایی و مواد موثره زعفران توصیه می شود.

the effect potassium sulfate and seaweed extract on the photosynthetic pigments of leaves and some stigma active substances of saffron (crocus sativus l.)

introduction: saffron (crocus sativus l.) is the most expensive agricultural product and one of the most valuable medicinal and spice plants that have many uses in the food and medicine industries. iran is the largest producer and exporter of saffron in the world, and about 90% of the world’s annual saffron production is produced in iran, mainly in razavi khorasan and south khorasan provinces. a balanced supply of nutrients is one of the main important factors in the sustainable saffron production, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. potassium and sulfur, as two essential and widely used elements, play a significant role in the synthesis of proteins, activating enzymes, transferring sugar, increasing carbon dioxide absorption and photosynthesis. seaweed extract is also one of the compounds that stimulate plant growth and the quality of products. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of potassium sulfate and seaweed extract on the stigma quality and the content of leaf photosynthetic pigments.materials and methods: this experiment was carried out in the growing seasons of 2018 and 2019, as factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications, in sarayan, iran. experimental factors were four levels of potassium sulfate (0, 100, 200, and 300 kg ha-1) and three levels of acadian seaweed (0, 1, and 2 per thousand). before conducting the experiment, soil sampling was done from a depth of 0-30 cm (table 1). plots dimension was 2×1 m, with for planting rows in each. the distance between the plots was 0.5 m and between the blocks was 1.5 m. before planting, the corms (8-10 g) were disinfection with benomyl fungicide. potassium sulfate applied simultaneously with corms planting. for application of seaweed extract, after preparing the solutions with desired concentrations, foliar spraying was done using a sprayer three times in 20th february and 5th and 20th march, 2018. the flowers in the first growing season (autumn of 2017), were not harvested, because the treatments were not yet fully applied. simultaneously with the beginning of flowering, in the second flowering season (in late november 2018), the flowers of each plot were collected daily. the stigmas were dried under laboratory condition at the shade for a week. then, the qualitative parameters of stigma (anthocyanin, antioxidant, phenol, crocin, picrocrocin and safranal) were measured. in addition, during vegetative growth, the content of photosynthetic pigments (carotenoids, chlorophylls a, b and total) of leaves were determined. statistical analysis of data was done using sas 9.4 software. means were compared using a protected lsd test at the 5% level of probability.results and discussion: the interaction effect of experimental factors was significant on the content of picrocrocin, safranal and antioxidant of stigma as well as the amount of chlorophyll and carotenoid in the leaves. the highest amounts of picrocrocin, safranal and antioxidant activity were obtained in the combined application of 300 kg ha-1 potassium sulfate + foliar spraying of seaweed extract with a concentration of 2 per thousand, which were respectively, 32.8, 23.9 and 21.1% more than the control treatment (no use of potassium sulfate and seaweed extract). the highest values of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids (0.17, 0.037, 1.99 and 1.01 mg g-1 fw, respectively) were gained with the combined application potassium sulfate (100 to 300 kg ha-1) plus seaweed extract (1-2 per thousand), which were 54.4, 60.8, 131.3 and 68.3% higher than the control, respectively. the simple effect of experimental factors was significant on crocin and anthocyanin content of stigma. increasing the application rate of potassium sulfate from 0 to 300 kg ha-1, improved the amount of crocin by three times and the amount of anthocyanin by 8.9%.
