A study was conducted to see the effect of Miraculan (Triacontanol) on various seed germination parameters under water stress. The experiment revealed that the speed of germination and seedling growth parameters showed better increment with lower concentrations (0.1 to 0.8ml/L) than higher concentrations (1.0 to 1.6ml/L) of Miraculan. Thus, 0.6ml/L proved to be most beneficial for the enhancement of seed germination parameters, hypocotyl length. While, 0.2ml/L showed maximum increase in radicle length & 0.8ml/L showed maximum Emergence Index. Thus, for all the parameters lower concentrations proved to be beneficial for increasing seed germination and seedling growth. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol7no1/effect-of-miraculan-of-seed-germination-parameters-in-cowpea-under-water-stress/ Seed germination; water stress; Miraculan
