Effect of presoaking seeds in phytohormonal solution on the growth and yield of crops

Abstract

The effects of presoaking the seeds of cereals like paddy (Oryza sativa) and cholam (Sorghum spp.), in nutrient salt solutions have already been reported (1958). Subsequently further experiments were carried out to study the effect of presoaking seeds of paddy (Oryza sativa) and ragi (Eleusine coracana) in growth-regulating substances like L-naphthaleneacetic acid (L-NAA) and B-indolylacetic acid (B-IAA) on the growth and yields, and the results are summarised in the following paragraphs.
