The effect of varying concentrations of Tryptamine on the development of Zea Mays

Abstract

Rhizobium is a widely acknowledged bacterium due to its symbiotic
relationship, particularly with leguminous forages. It forms nodules, a
specialized structure, in approximately 90% of the Fabaceae family and
exhibits various methods to enhance soil fertility. Rhizobium can form a
symbiotic relationship with non-leguminous plants due to its
exceptional colonization abilities, which can contribute to enhanced
crop growth. Physiological precursors are utilized in conjunction with
rhizobium due to their superior water solubility, consistent hormone
supply, and cost-effectiveness. The aim of this investigation was to
assess the impact of precursor, both with and without Tryptamine, on
the growth parameters of maize. A total of six treatments consisting of
tryptamine dilutions were planned for the experiment. The findings
indicate that Tryptamine @ 10-4 (T5) resulted in the greatest shoot
length (43.6 cm), fresh weight (11.78 g) and dry weight (1.67 g), root
length (36 cm), fresh weight (4.91 g) and dry weight (1.99 g), as well as
chlorophyll (a) and (b) levels (1.05 and 0.77 mg g-1). The efficacy of
precursor application has been determined and warrants further
examination in diverse ecologies.
