| Abstract: | Research has been undertaken to find out if
square pyramidal structure has any influence on the germination, radical
emergence and seedling vigour in terms of germination percentage and length of
fenugreek, as given in Indian scriptures and literature. Two models were used,
one of them made of wood and other one made of plywood with both of them having
square base. The control sample was kept in open air. Results subjected to
statistical analysis indicated that there is a significant influence on the
radical emergence and seedling vigour when germinated in both pyramid models.
However there was no statistical significance in germination percentage. |
