Abstract:

The present experiment was conducted at Department of Seed Science and Technology, MIT College of Agriculture and Technology, Vellalapatti, Musiri, Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India. During 2024-2025 with tomato seeds (PKM-1). The seeds were pelleted with organic and inorganic formulations along with botanical powder and also maintained untreated seeds as control. Treatment details viz., where T1 -control, T2 -Positive control, T3- GA3 @(1,2gm), T4- neem leaf powder+ turmeric powder + nano urea (5, 10ml), T5- neem leaf powder+ turmeric powder + Sea Secret (5, 10ml), T6 - Neem leaf powder + turmeric powder+ Humic Secret (5, 10ml), T7 - neem leaf powder+ turmeric powder + Azsopirillum (5, 10gm), T8 -neem leaf powder+ turmeric powder + Trichoderma viridae (5, 10 gm), T9 - neem leaf powder+ turmeric powder + Pseudomonas (5, 10gm), T10 - neem leaf powder+ turmeric powder + Phosphobacteria (5, 10gm). Data was subjected to facrtorial experiment laid out in completely randomized design. The seeds were assessed of quality attributes, was done in terms of germination per cent, seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index-I and seedling vigour index-II. Whereas, germination per cent, seedling length, seedling weight, seedling vigour index showed maximum in treatment combination T3-GA3 1gm was closely followed by T5- neem leaf powder+turmeric powder+Sea Secret (5ml) when compared to other treatments. However, electrical conductivity and were lowest in T3 - GA3 (1gm).
