While  at treatment by ZnSO4 and  KNO3 there wasan increase in  total germination , mean germination time, radical and plumule lengths, seedling  fresh and dry weight, and vigour index , also increasing in TSS, St, and TAC contents. However, the treatment with KNO3 was the best compare with treatment by ZnSO4. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: It can be concluded from this study that using invigoration solutions led to improve germination and vigour of barley seeds for all the seed storage.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Scientific Journal for Faculty of Science-Sirte University}, author={buhwish, Rabha}, year={2023}, month={Apr.}, pages={68–76} }
