Abstract：In order to study the effects of chitoson-alginate composite membrane on cotton seed germination and growth and development of seedlings,the cotton seeds were conducted coating treatment with composite membrane of concentration ratios of chitoson to alginate as 5∶ 1,4∶ 1,3∶ 1,2∶ 1,1∶ 1,0∶1 respectively.The results showed that,when the concentration ratio reached 3∶1 and 4∶ 1,the properties of composite membrane were the best.The seed germination rate,contents of chlorophyll,soluble sugar and soluble protein of cotton seedlings were all more than those of no coating treatment and single reagent treatment.They firstly increased and then decreased with the decrease of concentration ratio,and the effect was the best when the concentration ratio was 3∶ 1.
