Abstract

The study was aimed to determine the effects of retted water on seed germination and seedling growth of Sesamum indicum L.Var.Kylm-1 and Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. Var.Jyothika. plants under laboratory conditions. The effect of retted water in seed germination and vigour index of seedlings was compared to that of zero control (distilled water) and also to different concentrations such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 ,40 ,45, 50,55,60 and 100% (control) . It has been concluded that retted water has significantly affected the germination and growth of seeds and seedlings of Sesamum indicum and Vigna unguiculata was lower and that concentration were effective for germination and was re-usable for agriculture.
