Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted at Fruit Nursery, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda 210001, (U.P.) during the year 2020-2021. The experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with nine treatments, replication thrice. The seed germination experiment was conducted in laboratory (in Petri dish). However, the physical growth parameters and root parameters were taken in shade net house. The various concentration of plant growth regulators and thiourea viz., T1 (Control), T2 (GA3 200 ppm), T3 (GA3 400 ppm), T4 (IAA 30 ppm), T5 (IAA 50 ppm), T6 (Thiourea 500 ppm), T7 (Thiourea 1000 ppm), T8 (Kinetin 500 ppm) and T9 (Kinetin 1000 ppm) were used to treat the seeds of Jatti Khatti and further observations were taken for 30 days for seed germination parameters.

However, the physical growth parameters and root parameters were taken in shade net house. The various concentration of plant growth regulators and thiourea viz., T1 (Control), T2 (GA3 200 ppm), T3 (GA3 400 ppm), T4 (IAA 30 ppm), T5 (IAA 50 ppm), T6 (Thiourea 500 ppm), T7 (Thiourea 1000 ppm), T8 (Kinetin 500 ppm) and T9 (Kinetin 1000 ppm) were used to treat the seeds of Jatti Khatti and further observations were taken for 30 days for seed germination parameters.
The result indicated that minimum days taken to start seed germination in 8 days, maximum germination percentage 94.47%, earliness index 0.886 and also vigour index 511.760 in T3 (GA3 400 ppm) for 12 hours were recorded. However, the final observation was taken for 90 DAS for physical growth and root parameters. The results were indicated that maximum seedling height (15.400 cm), number of leaves (16.800), leaf area (7.003 cm2), stem diameter (0.323 cm), fresh weight of shoot (0.398 g) and dry weight of shoot (0.186 g), length of primary root (8.820 cm), number of secondary root (11.523), fresh weight of root (0.158 g) and dry weight of root (0.075 g) were recorded in seed treated with T3 (GA3 400 ppm) for 12 hours. Therefore, it can be concluded that the GA3 at 400 ppm was found best for seed germination, physical growth and root parameters.
