Seed invigoration in black gram by chemical hardening
Abstract:
An attempt was made to identify suitable and effective chemicals for seed hardening for improving seed germination and other quality parameters under drought conditions. The chemicals used for seed hardening were FeSO
4 @5%, ZnSO
4 @100 ppm, CaCl
2 @2%, MnSO
4 @100 ppm, KCl @2%, K
2SO
4 @
100 ppm and control. Among the various chemicals, seed hardening with 2%, CaCl
2 improved the seed germination (98%) and other quality parameters, compared to control (88%)
