Abstract :

‘Germination’ is the emergence of radical and plumule of seed emyo, resulting in the formation of seedling. (Urmila Sarkar , Surendra Sawardekar) A fully developed seed contains an emyo along with food reserves wrapped in a seed coat. (Urmila Sarkar , Surendra Sawardekar) Various parameters lead to proper germination of seed into seedling and later into productive produce. As often, seeds germinate in the dark but different treatment or condition applied also enhance the rate of seed germination. The research is focused on two leafy vegetables plant species namely Amaranthus tricolor (Red variety) and Amaranthus tricolor (Green variety) germination of seeds by an application of unheated water and hot water in light and dark condition. The rate of germination under a utilization of qualitative treatments in two different conditions gives efficient results by Analysis of Variance – ANOVA. The research concludes the productivity of specific treatment to be used: A guiding tool during farming practice to be followed by an agricultural practitioner for the above said plant species
