Description :
Quality of seeds is very important for any crop to grow better in the future and to give
higher yield and also to grow vigorously. These could also enhanced by treating with many
poisonous chemicals and growth factors. But these are always hazardous to human being,
animals, microorganisms, environment and natural habitats. There are some facts like, if the
crops are grown under the indigenous organic preparation, cultivation are less prone to
diseases attack and safe to health. In the view of the above facts, the present study was
conducted to evaluate the effect of different organic preparation which were indigenously
prepared on seed quality parameters of redgram viz., germination percentage, length of
plumule, length of radicals, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour, field emergence percentage of
mycoflora. The results revealed that the seeds soaked in Brahamastra showed significantly
highest germination percentage, length of plumule, length of radicals, seedling dry weight,
seedling vigour, field emergence percentage and lesser invasion of mycoflora followed by
Beejamrutha, Panchgavya and Jeevamrutha. The control which was soaking in water recorded
significantly lowest seed quality parameters and highest invasion of mycoflora.
