Seed Germination and Early Seedling Growth of Different Vegetable Species Treated by Organic Liquid Preparations of Dasagavya and Beejamrita
Abstract
Seed germination and seedling growth are the most crucial stages of the plant life that exert a pivotal influence on production and economic yield. The present study was conducted to examine the effect of Dasagavya and, two organic liquid preparations on seed germination and early seedling growth of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) var. MI5, winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) var. Green, Chinese spinach (Amaranthus spp) var. Red, cooking melon (Cucumis melo) var. mal, ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula) var. local, cabbage (Brassica oleracea) var. jumbo, brinjal (Solanum melongena) var. leenairi and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) var. local. The experiment consisted of eight subexperiments, was set up as a completely randomized design with four replicates using germination trays and black color pots. Dasagavya and Beejamrita were used as organic seed treatments and pure water as the control treatment.
