IMPROVEMENT IN SEED GERMINATION BY CHEMICAL HARDENING IN BLACKGRAM

ABSTRACT
An attempt was made to identify a suitable and effective chemicals for seed hardening and improving the seed germination under drought conditions. The chemicals used for seed hardening were KCl 1%, KH2PO4 1%, CaCl2 1%, KCl + KH2PO4 + CaCl2 (1:1:1), NaCl 1%, FeSO4 0.5%, FeSO4 1%, GA3 100 ppm, KNO3 0.5%, Kinetin 100 ppm, IAA 100 ppm, IBA 100 ppm, water and control. Among the chemicals, seed hardening with KCl 1% improved the seed germination (94%) and other quality parameters, compared to control (82%).
