The experiment was carried out by in the postgraduate Seed Testing Laboratory and field, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higgin bottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) during Kharif season 2018-2019, to standardize the suitable pre-sowing seed treatment of Cluster bean (Pusanavbahar). Different concentration with different duration of pre-sowing seed treatments with control (Unhardened) were evaluated by screening 8 hour viz., Magnetic field (100mT for 45 min, 35 min and 25 min), Electric treatment (70 mA @10min and 20 mA @ 5min), Panchagavya (3% and 5% for 8hrs), Agniastra (3% and 5%for 8hrs), KNO3 (3%,5% and 7% for 8hrs). It has been reported that all the pre-sowing seed treatments showed significant. The variance with the control, in field highest field emergence percentage and yield and yielding attributes in KNO3 (5% for 8hrs) has performed the best results in field parameters like Field emergence percentage, Plant height 90 DAS, Days to 50% flowering, Number of clusters per plant, Number of pods per plant, Days to maturity, Pod weight per plant (g), Seed yield per plant (g), Seed yield per plot (g), Biological yield (g) and Harvest index (%) followed by Magnetic field (100 mT for 35 min) and Electric treatment (20mA for 5 min) and found to be lowest in control seeds. Hence seed treatment of Cluster bean seeds with KNO3 5% is the best treatment compared to electric and other pre-sowing seed treatments.
