Effect of 2-Phosphono Butane 1, 2, 4, Tricarboxylic Acid on germination and seedlings of Vigna sinensis
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering, Science and Mathematics - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
There is an urgent need to develop suitable soil amendments to resolve the problem. The attempts have been made to test 2-Phosphono Butane 1,2,4, Tricarboxylic Acid (Codex-551) as one of the chemical amendment for saline soil. The present work is based on the observation of seed germination Vigna sinensis (Cowpea) variety-Pusakomal in different concentrations of Codex-551. The work was carried out under laboratory conditions. The Vigna sinensis seedling growth were in 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, 80 ppm and 100 ppm of Codex-551 concentrations and control consisted of soil suspension of saline-alkaline black cotton soil without any treatment. After 7 days in control the lowest (1.4 cm) root length and (1.10 cm) shoot length was observed while in 60 ppm, highest root length up to (3.2 cm) and shoot length up to (5.5 cm) was observed. After 15 days lowest root length (2.6 cm) and shoot length (3.9 cm) was observed in control while highest root length observed was (4.1 cm) and shoot length was (10.7 cm) in 60 ppm concentrations.
