Volume : III, Issue : VII, August - 2013 Effect Of Chlorine Water On Some Vital Process Of Vigna Unguiculata L. (cowpea) Sharad Phulari DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Vigna unguiculata seeds treated with 0.01%
0.1% and 0.2 % (v/v) chlorine water during germination upto 10 days. The control is treated with distilled
water. The germination percentage is affected by chlorine water treatment. The effect is seviour as concentration of
chlorine water goes on increasing. Chlorine water treated seeds shows less number of leaves over control. The
length of seedling is affected by chlorine water treatment. More the concentration of chlorine water, less is the
length of seedling in vigna unguiculata . The chlorine water has inhibitory effect on root growth ( radical length and
number of rootlets) in Vigna unguiculata . The fresh weight and dry weight goes on decreasing in chlorine water
treatment of Vigna unuiculata over control.
Chlorine is essential micronutrient in plant vital processes. However, higher concentration of chlorine
inhibits the plant vital process during seed germination of Vigna uguiculata. The higher concentration of chlorine
affects the seed germination percentage, leaves number, seedling growth, radical length with rootlets, fresh weight
and dry weight of seedling. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Sharad Phulari, (2013). Effect Of Chlorine Water On Some Vital Process Of Vigna Unguiculata L. (cowpea).
