Effect of palm bunch ash on the seed germination, seedling growth and biochemical parameter of soybean

Abstract

The work was carried out to study the effects of Palm Bunch Ash (PBA) on seed germination, seedling growth and biochemical parameters of Soybean. Soybean seeds were raised in petri-dishes and irrigated with different concentrations of PBA (0-control, 10, 25,40,65,80 and 100%). At lower concentrations, PBA had promotory effects on all the parameters studied while 100% concentration had inhibitory effects.
