Abstract

A lab experiment was conducted at Department of Agronomy, Tamilnadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India. The research study revealed that effect of seed priming treatments with Vermiwash, Cowurine, Panchagavya, Beejamrutha, Jeevamrutha on seed germination, seedling growth and vigour of fingermillet. The organic seed priming treatments had a substantial impact on the fingermillet seed quality. Seed priming with T4-cow urine 3% exhibited the highest germination percentage (91.67%),seedling length (9.27cm), root length(8.27cm), vigour index I (1011.23) and vigour index II (112.12) values. The shoot length(2.77cm), seedling fresh weight(4.01g), seedling dry weight(1.22g) and root to shoot ratio (1.44) were recorded highest in Cow urine 3% (T4)which was on par with Panchagavya3%(T5) (2.70cm,3.97g,1.21g,and1.42, respectively) and T3- Vermiwash3% (2.67cm,3.97g,1.19g,and1.40,respectively). This research helps to improve the quality of seedling with the help of organic bio-fertilizer treatments which are economical, non-toxic and ecofriendly.
