Abstract:
The lab experiment for priming of green synthesized potassium nanoparticles (K NPs) which was synthesized using tulsi was carried out at Green nanotechnology lab, UAS, Dharwad, and Karnataka during 2020-21 in completely randomized design with three replications. The results revealed that, seed priming in green synthesized K NPs at 60 ppm for 8 hours (T4) recorded significantly higher root length (12.93 cm), shoot length (6.78 cm), root volume (0.72 cm3), seed germination (96.67%) and root diameter (0.34 mm). Wheat seeds soaked in water for 24 hours (T12) recorded significantly lowest root length (10.03 cm), shoot length (5.05 cm), root volume (0.40 cm3), seed germination (86.67%) and root diameter (0.23 mm).
