Effect of seed soaking with nitrophenolate–based biostimulant on germination and growth of chilli var. Kanchanaburi 1
Main Article Content
Abstract
The results showed that there was significant difference in germination rate. Three ppm of nitrophenolate–based biostimulant increased the germination rate more than the other treatments. However, there was no significant difference among treatments in the leaf number at 14 and 21 days after planting and also the plant height at 14 days after planting. The seeds which were soaked in 7 ppm of nitrophenolate–based biostimulant for 5 hours, resulted in the tallest plant height at 21 days after planting.
