Abstract

Significantly higher seed yield (8.94q/ha), germination (88.58%), and seedling vigour index (4140) was recorded due to the treatment with calcium chloride followed by calcium carbonate and calcium oxychloride. The treatment with 1.0% concentration recorded significantly higher seed yield, germination and vigour index against to 0.5 per cent concentration.
