This study investigated the incorporation of the plant growth promoter Vitazyme as an additional seed‐dressing component to pearl millet, along with a regularly recommended systemic fungicide. Preliminary in vitro examination indicated a significant enhancement in seedling vigor for all of the concentrations tested. Vitazyme seed treatments, alone or in combination with Apron 35SD, resulted in improved field emergence. Yield analyses indicated Vitazyme seed treatment alone or in combination with foliar spray showed yield measurements comparable to Apron 35SD. Furthermore, the combination of seed treatments/foliar applications with Apron 35SD provided the best yield improvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
