Abstract

Seed germination and seed quality parameters play an important role in crop production and crop multiplication. And development of several standards for germination and seed testing is the basic requirement in seed production, crop improvement and crop multiplication. To set the testing protocol is the basic requirement because seed is the key factor of agriculture without having a good seed our agriculture system is failed. That’s why the standardization of technique and production methods is very important for a successful production. In medicinal plants the standardization of protocols are not easily available.
