Elucidating the role of biostimulants on seedling characters of cowpea

Abstract

: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of biostimulant, NovoBac on seedling characters of cowpea using roll towel method. The results observed from the study revealed that seed treatment with NovoBac @ 1g/kg has higher shoot length, root length, dry matter production and vigour index when compared with control. The increase was due to the effect of bacteria in NovoBac which produce growth hormones influence growth activities of cowpea.
