Abstract:
A study was conducted during 2016-17 to evaluate the effects of organic and inorganic growth regulators on germination and vigour of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seed at Post Graduate laboratory, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad (U.P.). The experiment consist of three concentration of GA₃ (10, 20 and 30 ppm), three concentration of IAA (10, 20 and 30 ppm), three concentration of lemon juice (2, 4 and 6 %), and three concentration of Panchgavya (2, 4 and 6 %). The experiment was laid out in completely randomized block design with four replications. T₈ (GA₃ 20ppm) proved significantly superior in germination percent, germination index, shoot length, root length, seedling length, fresh weight of seedling, dry weight of seedling, seed vigour index-I, and seed vigour index-II.
