Abstract
The large number of vegetarians or vegans of world population consume legumes as it is the best source of high protein and low fat, it is also high in plant sterols and fibers they are good for heart health. Legumes like mungbean (Vigna radiata) has been consumed also as salad after sprouting, it is more nutritious with its sprout and in India it is also consumed by making daal. For seed germination of Vigna radiata in controlled condition is generally treated with growth hormones (Gibberellic acid, IAA, IBA, salicylic acid and etc), PEG (polyethylene glycol) and control is used for comparison. In this experiment, the seeds of mungbean are treated with hormones like gibberelic acid (GA) and salicylic acid (SA), PEG (polyethylene glycol) and as stress there is salt stress and citric acid (CA) to see the seed germination under this circumstances, and seeds also germinated in control (distilled water) condition for comparison in petridish on whatman paper for 10 days after that the germinated seeds (salicylic acid, gibberellic acid and distilled water) transferred to the mud pot with the soil and irrigate with their respective solutions for 20 days and take measurements and weight of plants after every 5 days interval.
