Abstract

Seed germination is a primary event in the life cycle of a crop plant. Seed germination unfolds the hidden embryo to develop into a healthy plant. Efforts are made to find the effect of the dye on colony development of Rhizobium and on seed germination of Vigna radiata. There was a gradual decrease in seed germination with increasing concentrations of the dye. The germination study was carried out in Petriplates under laboratory conditions with different concentration of dye Monastral fast blue. The effect of lower concentration (25%) was found more stimulatory than of higher concentration (100%).
