Abstract

Seeds of many cultivated plants do not germinate easily. Dormancy and impermeability of seed coat act as the main barriers in their germination. There are several methods of seed treatinent for improving seed germination. But due to the complex nature of these treatments the agriculturist is unable to exploit them under our conditions, but is compelled to adopt a heavy seed rate to make up for the low seed germination. This entails a heavy loss of seed and cumulatively the waste of seed runs to several lakhs of rupees.
