Walnut leaf extract decreased the vigour index and relative growth index of lentil.
Verbatim
e0“Inhibition of seed germination and seedling vigour of two lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) varieties (cv. VL 125 and VL 507) recommended for hills under West Himalayan agri-silvi system assessed by Walnut leaf extracts concentrations”
e2“Both varieties exhibited maximum extent of inhibition at 100% extracts application in comparison to other lower concentrations along with untreated control”
e3“Invariably there was a decrease in germination at first count and final count, length of root, shoot and seedling, seedling fresh and dry weight, vigour index (I and II) and relative growth index (RGI) with increasing aqueous extracts concentration on germinating lentil”
