Title: Effect of different botanical extracts on germination and vigour on chilli (Capsicum annum L.)
Abstract: The experiment was conducted in Seed science Post Graduate Laboratory, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, SHUATS, Allahabad, U.P. during (2016), in order to standardize the best method of priming specific to chilli. From the present investigation the different priming treatment showed significant effect on seed germination and seed vigour parameters. Priming with Coconut water (3%) increased the germination (%) and seed vigour in Chilli. Coconut water(3%) exhibited high mean value for Seedling characters like seed germination percentage (85.5%), germination energy (46 %),Speed of germination(16.0), root length (5.125cm), shoot length(5.625cm), seedling length (10.8), seedling fresh weight (2.0gm) and seedling dry weight (0.023gm), seed vigour index I (929.2) and seed vigour index II (1.988), in compared with other treatments.
