EFFECT OF PANCHAGAVYA ON SEED GERMINATION AND SEEDLING GROWTH OF CHILLI

A.B. Dudhal and R.D. Chitale

Abstract

Panchagavya play vital role in organic cultivation, with potential to promote growth and enhance immunity in plants. The experiment was conducted using a petri-plate method during November- December 2023. The parameters such as germination percentage, root and shoot length, vigour index was significantly increased in 1% Panchagavya solution as compared to 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% solution, as well as control. The results of the experiment revealed that seed treated with Panchagavya showed significant increase in morphological parameters of seed germination and seedling growth of chilli and hence used for seed treatment under organic farming cultivation.
