| dc.description.abstract | Microgreen Wheatgrass is Young seed harvested 7-14 days after planting
have fully developed cotyledons and a pair of true leaves. Technological
developments and advances in science provide scientific evidence that some types
of food plants can provide major health benefits, one of which is wheatgrass.
Microgreens wheatgrass is a plant that is rich in nutrients. This study aims to
determine the effect of giving Natural ZPT from coconut water and shallots and the
effect of NaCl concentration on growth and production as well as the phytochemical
content of microgreen wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum L.). This research was carried
out by the Seed Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of North
Sumatra in March 2023 using a completely randomized factorial design with 3
replications and 2 factors, namely ZPT Natural shallots and coconut water, and
NaCl concentrations of 50mM, 100mM, 150mM . The results showed that the
natural ZPT treatment increased the parameters of shoot wet weight, fiber content
and microgreen wheatgrass antioxidants. Giving natural ZPT coconut water
increased the observed variables of plant height, harvest index and microgreen
wheatgrass flavonoids. Natural ZPT treatment 100ml can increase the growth and
production of microgreen wheatgrass. Concentration of NaCl increases the
parameters of plant height, root length, shoot wet weight, root wet weight, root
crown ratio, fiber content, flavonoids, and antioxidants will have no significant
effect on chlorophyll a , b and total as well as carotenoids. The best NaCl treatment
at concentrations of 100mm and 150mm. The interaction of natural ZPT and NaCl
can increase plant height, shoot wet weight, fiber content, flavonoids, and
antioxidants. | en_US |
