The experiment was carried out at Dept. Of Crop Physiology, S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati in a complete
randomised design with three seed treatments viz., seed soaked in beejamrutha, water and a control (without seed soaking). The results revealed that beejamrutha seed treatment recorded higher germination per cent (96%), seedling vigour index (654.64) and amylase enzyme activity (3.88) compared to seed soaked in water and control. However, the coefficient of velocity of germination was recorded higher with the seed soaked in water (31.21) compared to beejamrutha seed treatment (24.88).
KEY WORDS: Blackgram, beejamrutha, CVG, amylase, germination per cent
