Germination Characteristic Of Green Gram Under Copper Exposure

The present investigation has been carried out to assess the effect of copper on the seed germination characteristic of green gram. Various concentration of copper were prepared and utilized for the germination purpose. The seeds were germinated under the exposure of different concentrations of copper. The percentage of germination, vigour index, tolerance index and seedling growth parameters increased at low concentrations of copper. However the germination rate and seedling growth were adversely affected at higher concentration of copper.
