Abstract
In order to decrease the effects of aging on seeds, antioxidants and phenolic compounds might be utilized. Included in this list of chemicals is ellagic acid. An experimental strategy was used in 2019 and 2020 to ascertain how ellagic acid affected the quality of soybeans. A factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Treatments included two initial seed quality (un-aged and aged seeds) and ellagic acid at four levels (control (zero), seed priming, foliar spray and seed priming + foliar spray at a concentration of 50 mg/L). Protein percentage, oil percentage and seed production in plants were all decreased by seed aging. Plants grown from seeds that had been treated with ellagic acid showed a 39.2 percent increase in seed yield. Seed yield increased by 45.3 percent after ellagic acid was sprayed on the leaves, also priming + foliar spray of ellagic acid increased protein yield by 60.6%. In conclusion, according to this study results, it may be suggested that using ellagic acid as a priming and foliar spray can reduce the negative effects of aged seeds.
