Abstract

Effects of H2SO4, H2O2, C2H5OH and of acetone on germination of cotton seeds and on the growth of seedling root were studied under laboratory conditions. H2SO4 or H2O2 hastened germination but decreased the ultimate number of seeds germinated. Higher temperature (27°C) hastened germination and increased the number of seeds germinated. Root length remained unaffected by treatments at room temperature while H2SO4 or H2SO4/H2O2 substantially decreased it at 27°C.
