EFFECT OF SEED SOAKING TREATMENT WITH AGRO-CHEMICALS ON GERMINATION AND SEEDLING ATTRIBUTES OF WHEAT

Abstract

                                A field experiment was conducted at Rajasthan college of Agriculture. Udaipur with Sonalika (HD-1553) variety of wheat. Of the seven seed soaking treatments viz, control (dry seed), distilled water KH, PO. (5%), CaCl, (0 25%), Cycocel, (0.1%) NaCl 2.5% and saturated solution of Ca (OH), Treatment with KH,PO, enhanced the germination by reducing days of emergence and increasing the number of seedi- ings per metro row length. Dry matter accumulation and seedling height were also increased KH, PO, treatment increased N, P and K uptake, with resultant dry matter accumulation.
