Abstract: Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the important pulses in the world and in our country. A number of reports inform that reduced germination rate is one of the reason for the low production and productivity. There are some natural and synthetic chemicals which have shown well in the field of germination improvement. Among those we had chosen three chemicals for the current study, i.e., brassinolide, potassium nitrate (KNO₃) and thiourea in different concentrations along with distilled water as control. Both the concentrations of Brassinolide have shown remarkable results as compared to others. Furthermore, this experiment calls for a careful and systematic study on these chemicals on plant health, which can cause improvement in the field of agriculture.
