Antagonistic effect of soil microbes against rice pathogens
Abstract :
Effects of hormones, growth regulators and dormancy breaking chemicals on the germination and its related characters of Ocimum basilicum and Ocimum gratissimum were assessed. Out of eleven seed treatments tried in the lab, soaking of seeds in 50ppm Gibberellic acid solution recorded highest germination percentage, root length, shoot length, vigour index and lowest days taken for germination when compared to untreated controls in both the species of Ocimum.
Keywords:
dormancy breaking chemicals, germination percentage, growth promoters, Ocimum species, vigour index
