Abstract

High germination seed lots of cluster bean were evaluated for laboratory germination following different priming techniques. The seed germination under control ranged up to 83%, where treatments enhanced up to an average of 90.5% germination. We have observed 94.7% seed germination seeds treated with ginger extract five per cent and 93.8% seed germination with treatment of garlic extracts and extracts of turmeric showed 91% germination and shoot length (21.64 cm) and seedling vigour index (4941) was significantly superior in treatment of Ginger, followed by Garlic respectively. Compared to non-treated seeds, botanical priming with Ginger extract or garlic extracts increased early (3-day) germination percentage at 25oC, and improved total (10-day) germination percentage of low-germination seed.
