Abstract:

Studies on evaluation of the influence of seed fortification with inorganic nutrients as pre-sowing seed management technique expressed that KH2PO4 and KCl at 1 per cent among the nutrients (MgSO4, MnSO4, ZnSO4, FeSO4, borax) were highly suitable for invigourating the seed and seedling quality characters. The seeds were fortified in the respective solution for a duration of 16 h with equal volume of seed to solution ratio. The fortified seeds also performed better at primary and secondary nursery conditions in production of elite seedlings for transplanting to main field.


Keywords: Inorganic nutrients, KH2PO4, germination, emergence
