Abstract: Taking Glycyrrhiza uralensis seeds as the test materials, using the test method of petri dish and cave plate culture, the effect of compound plant growth regulator ABT 1 and green plant growth regulator GGR 6 and GGR 8 soaking 24 hours treatment on seed germination and emergence, in order to provide reference for licorice seedling raising and field sowing.The results showed that in ABT 1 treatment group, the germination rate of 30 mg·L^-1 treatment was the highest 40.00%,and the emergence rate of 25 mg·L^-1 treatment was the highest 19.44%.In GGR 6 treatment group, the germination rate and seedling emergence rate of 30 mg·L^-1 treatment were the highest 45.33% and 26.39%,which were significantly better than those of water and gibberellin soaking treatment.In GGR 8 treatment group, the highest germination rate of 20 mg·L^-1 treatment was 37.33%,and the highest seedling emergence rate of 25 mg·L^-1 treatment was 22.22%,which did not show obvious and stable advantages compared with water and gibberellin treatment.In a comprehensive comparison, the green plant growth regulator GGR 6 soaked licorice seeds for 24 hours and then sowed, the germination rate was 17.22% and 41.66% higher than that of water and gibberellin treatment, respectively, and the seedling emergence rate was 11.77% and 111.12% higher than that of water and gibberellin treatment, respectively.It was a more suitable method for the treatment of licorice seeds before sowing.
