Abstract:
The investigation on effect of seed priming treatment on crop morphological parameters with melatonin and nematicide in tomato seed. Effect of melatonin and nematicide (Fluopyrum 34.48% SC) on morphological characters in 10 days old tomato seedlings were studied out at Department of Biochemistry, B.A. College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand. The experiment was carried out in laboratory with one cultivar viz. GAT-5 and different concentration of melatonin and nematicide soaked seed treatment. For selection of melatonin and nematicide concentration the morphological characters, such as mean germination time, germination index, root weight, root length, shoot weight and shoot length were measured. Significantly the best treatment of melatonin and Nematicide the seed priming treatment T₄ (50 µm Melatonin) and T₄ (1% Fluopyrum 34.48% SC), respectively.
