Abstract
Treatment of milk thistle seeds with Atonik for 6 hours increased the germination percentage, root length, and shoot length, and reduced germination time as compared to the control. When the milk thistle seeds were soaked for 6 hours in 0.3% Atonik solution, seed germination was 94.5%, germination time was 1.6 days, and root length reached 25.6 mm, the shoot length reached 14.2 mm. It is suggested that Atonik 0.3% can be used to treat milk thistle seeds.
