Optimum Soil: Manure to Soil Ratio for Better Germination of Triticum Seeds

Abstract

Triticum and Rice, the two cereals are the staple food of Indians. Before green revolution, India was facing their shortage. Now India is self-sufficient. Still, there is a talk of second green revolution. In this context, it is need to boost the production of these crops to ensure sustainability. The present study is a small step in this direction. It aims at finding out the effect of cow dung/soil mixture on germination of triticum spp. (triticum) seeds. The germination of triticum seeds were studied in the soil which was mixed with cow dung in different proportions in volume wise as 1:
