Abstract

Horse-gram seeds was pretreated with aqueous solution of leaf extract of bel (Aegle marmelos) 50g in 500ml distilled water for 2 hours before forced ageing treatment (100% RH and 32±2 °C) for different durations (0 and 30 days). Seeds showed better performance, measured in terms of few physiological and biochemical parameters after pretreatment. The effect of the herbal extract on enhancement of seed potential is apparent in this investigation.
