Invivoseed germination of temperate vegetable as enhanced by germination enhancers

Abstract

An attempt has been made to study the effect of different seed germination enhancer on seed germination behavior of different temperate vegetable seeds in invivo conditions. In case of radish, maximum seed germination percentage at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3 @50ppm), maximum emerging shoot length at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3 @50ppm), maximum emerging root length at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3@50ppm) and maximum seed germination vigour at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3 @50ppm). In case of carrot, maximum seed germination percentage at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T3(GA3 @20ppm), maximum emerging shoot length at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3 @50ppm), maximum emerging root length at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3@50ppm) and maximum seed germination vigour at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3 @50ppm). In case of pea, maximum seed germination percentage at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3 @50ppm), maximum emerging shoot length at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3 @50ppm), maximum emerging root length at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3 @50ppm), maximum seed germination vigour at 8th day of seed treatment could be observed in T4 (GA3 @50ppm).
