EFFECT OF CYTOZYME ON SEED GERMINATION, EARLY SEEDLING GROWTH AND CHLOROPLAST PIGMENTS CONTENT IN CERTAIN PULSE CROPS

Abstract

                                While the lower concentrations of cytozyme promoted seed germination, seedling growth, fresh and dry weights and chloroplast pigments content in pigeonpea, cowpea and soybean, the higher concentrations inhibited seed germination as well as seedling growth, Cytozyme if applied at a concentration of 2 ml/ as a seed soaking medium might improve both seed germination as well as seedling growth in pulse crops to the maximum extent.

Key words : Cytozyme, Pulses, Germination, Growth, Chloroplast.
