Abstract
In this research, after making culture capsules from biodegradable mesh plates with bacterial, hydrogel and nanoclay substrates, which is from mixing bacteria, hydrogel and nanoclay and transferring the seedlings produced to the capsules as capsule culture compared to pots. Conventional nylon plants in conventional cultivation, which were used as controls, were carried out in the form of a completely randomized design with the two factors of cultivation type (capsule and conventional) and capsule type (hydrogel, bacteria and nanoclay) in the greenhouse of the Faculty of Natural Resources, University of Tehran. The results of this research showed the significant effect of the type of hydrogel capsule culture on all the morphological traits of the investigated plant; So that the length of the stem with an increase of 42.6%, the diameter of the collar by 14.8% and the dry biomass of the root and the aerial organs with an increase of 7.2% and 23.7%, respectively, have the highest values. They gave. In addition, regarding some physiological traits of the investigated plant, the amount of chlorophyll was also affected by the type of capsule culture and its concentration in capsule culture of hydrogel, bacteria and nanoclay showed an increase of 56.8%, 32.1% and 36.9% respectively. They gave. Also, the results of comparing the averages showed that the concentration of proline in plants grown in hydrogel capsules decreased by 33.20% compared to conventional culture. This reduction process in the soluble sugar content of plants grown in hydrogel capsules was obtained compared to the conventional culture of 20.78.
