STUDY OF SEED QUALITY OF WHEAT GENOTYPES IN DIFFERENT pH LEVELS

The experiment was conducted at Crop Physiology and Ecology laboratory of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, Bangladesh. This study was carried out to evaluate rate of germination, co-efficient of germination, seed metabolic efficiency and seed reserves mobilization at 4, 5, 6 and 7 pH levels of different wheat genotypes. The experiment was carried out in two factors completely randomized design with three replications. The treatment factors were four pH level (4, 5, 6 and 7) and six wheat genotypes (Prodip, BARI Gom-25, BARI Gom-26, BAW-1143, BAW-1146 and BAW-1147).Seeds of wheat genotypes were germinate better at pH level 7.metabolic efficiency and seed reserves mobilization at pH 7 were highest of all wheat genotypes.
