Abstract
Studies were conducted to find out the influence of seed fortification with bio-inoculants, nutrients and growth regulators on seed germination and seedling vigour of Tomato, Brinjal and Chilli. The fortification treatments included were soaking in water, Cowpea extract 2%, ZnSO 4 Horse-gram extract 3%, Bone Meal Extract 2%, Gelatin1000 ppm, KH 2 PO4 1%, KNO3 2%, 0.1%, FeSO4 0.2%, Na 2 SO4 0.1%, MnSO4 0.2%, IBA 100ppm and SA 200 ppm for 12h with dry seeds and dry seeds as control. The results of the study revealed that tomato, brinjal and chilli seeds fortified with gelatin 1000 ppm, KH 2 PO 4 1%, KNO 3 2% and SA 200 ppm performed better significantly in terms of germination and seedling vigour.
