Abstract


Fra-sowing treatments namely hardening with water and chemical solutions (CCC. Ethrel, Kinetin and Resistino) were given to Bajra HB-3 strain. The total nitrogen content was more in CCC and Kinetin treatments when compared to others. Regarding total phosphorus the influence of resistine was maximum followed by CCC and Kinetin. But hardening had very little influence in increasing the content of potassium over the control.. Some of the pre-treatments were effective in enhancing the calcium content of seedlings.
