ABSTRACT

The laboratory studies were carried out to investigate the effect of seed treatment on seed germination and seed health in some vegetable seeds during 2008-2009. Vegetable seeds were treated with Thiram, Captan and Bavistin alone @ 2g/kg and their combinations Bavistin + Captan and Bavistin + Thiram @ 1+1 g/kg of seed. Among the treatments higher germination and less seed infection were noticed in seeds treated with Bavistin + Thiram (1:1) @ 2g/kg seeds) in french bean (89.00  and 3.18 %), bhendi (93.33 and 3.83 %), onion (89.00 and 5.90 %), chilli (94.30 and 3.30 %), cauliflower (85.00 and 8.30 %) and tomato (92.00 and 4.92 %) compared to control (73.00 and 14.00 %), (74.00  and 26.83 %), (77.33 and 44.00 %), (85.00 and 27.00 %), (70.00 and 44.00 %) and (76.66 and 31.33 %, respectively).
