Effect of natural and synthetic growth regulators on germination and vigour of different pulse seeds
Name of the project: Effect of natural and
synthetic growth regulators on germination and vigour of different pulse seeds
Funding organization(s): Bangladesh University
Grants Commission
Duration:2010-2011
Present status: Completed and reported
Abstract
Growth regulators
affect seed germination and vigour of different crops. Nine natural and
synthetic growth regulators (Lemon
juice, Tamarind leaf extract, Gibberellin, Amloki (Phyllanthus
emblica) juice, Mesta (Hibiscus
cannabinus) leaf extract, NAA, Kinetin, Ascorbic acid and Folic acid) were
tested using varying concentrations on different pulse seeds (Lentil, Chickpea,
Grasspea, Cowpea, Mungbean and Blackgram) to evaluate the germination and
vigour. Results showed that growth regulators increased the germination and
vigour due to the application of some of the applied growth regulators such
seeds of lentil (gibberellin and leaf extract
leaf extract and folic acid); chickpea (gibbrellin, kinetin, ascorbic
acid, lemon and amloki juice); gasspea (gibberellin, amloki juice, folic acid
and lemon); cowpea (Gibberellin and amlokki juice); mungbean (amloki juice).
