Effect of potassium nitrate on seed quality enhancement in different aged seeds of Bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria, (Molina) Standl]
Journal Title: Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 0
Abstract
In the present investigation, three bottle gourd varieties i.e., AB-1, Pusa Santusti and Pusa Navin were subjected to seven different osmopriming chemical treatments of KNO3 at three storage periods. The data obtained from various observations were analyzed by using Factorial Completely Randomized Design (FCRD). The better seed quality was recorded when the seeds stored for 3 months under ambient condition. Among the studied varieties Pusa Navin stored for 3 months and treated with 150 ppm KNO3 recorded significantly highest seed germination as well as other seed quality parameters. The results depicted that the seed quality of bottle gourd was significantly influenced by varieties, storage periods and osmopriming treatments.
