The fluoride effect (NaF) on germination and yield production of three local species of Poaceae fodder

Slimani S., Boudelaa M., Ladjama A., Nadjeh I., Benkadour M.

The effect of fluoride (NaF) of three local species of rye grass (Lolium multiflorum Lamk., tall fescue (Festuca arundinaceae) and red canary grass (Phalaris arundinaceae) was analyzed at the concentration of 0; 10-1M; 10-2 M and 10-3M. The results showed that germination was effected by fluoride pollution. In fact, applying constant level of NaF caused considerable decrease in germinal capacity and power. At the concentration level of NaF solution over 2.33 g.l-1. The process of germination was completely inhibited in the three studied species. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that fluoride was found to greatly affect fescue growth. In contrast, fluoride had a favorable effect on rye grass and reed canary grass growth. Such growth stimulation is explained by an elevation in the respiratory activity. On the other hand, biochemical estimations show that fluoride treatment disturb biosynthesis of both photoreceptor pigments and sugars. Finally, we can conclude that the response of these ecotypes to fluoride pollution seems to be relatively resistant to this type of pollution.

Les effets de fluorures (NaF) sur trois graminées fourragères locales Lolium multiflorum Lamk., Fes - tuca arundinacea Schreb., Phalaris arundinacea L., ont été analysés aux concentrations suivantes: 0, 10-1M, 10-2M et 10-3M. Les résultats obtenus montrent une réelle sensibilité de la germination à la pollution fluorée. En effet, l’application de doses croissantes de fluorures diminue considérablement la faculté et l’énergie germinative. Au delà de la concentration 2,33 g.l-1 de NaF, l’inhibition du processus de germination est totale chez les trois espèces. Par ailleurs, le fluor a affecté sensiblement la croissance de la fétuque et favo risé lé - gèrement celle du ray-grass et l’alpiste, mais ces variations ne sont pas significatives. Concernant les para - mètres biochimiques, on note que le fluor a nettement perturbé les voies de biosynthèse des sucres et les pigments photorécepteurs. Enfin on peut conclure que la réponse de ces écotypes au fluor se révèle relativement résistante à ce type de pollution.
