Action of Plant Growth Regulators on the Seed Germination and Early Seedling of Vicia faba

The effects of Chloroflurenol, Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) and Gibberellic acid (GA) on germination and early seedling of Vicia faba was studied. The different concentrations of growth regulators (5, 10, 50, 100, 500 ppm) were used in these investigations. Chloroflurenol and IAA decreased the percent germination while GA increased. Chloroflurenol and IAA decreased the root length and shoot length at different concentrations. While GA promoted these parameters showing maximum at 50 ppm treatment.
