Effect of different optimum time of presoaking for maximum germination in wheat and jowar

Author(s): Babita Marutirao Sakdeo

Abstract

The experiment were carried out to study to determine optimum time of presoaking for maximum germination in wheat & jowar. Physiochemical process is affected by the conditions of the environment in which it occurs. There is always a minimum optimum and maximum for each factor in relation to germination. In this experiment seeds 1 gm each time, were presoaked in 5 ml water before and after air drying to determine the water uptake and the best soaking duration period. The seeds were presoaked before and after air drying for periods from o to 24 hours. The beneficial effects of growth through the presoaking technique have been observed. The data presented in this experiment clearly indicate that presoaking treatments enhance the plant vigor. However, the seeds need to be soaked for a definite period of time. Soaking for more hours than optimum determined, is detrimental as found in present experiments.
