Abstract

Solanum nigrum L. is an ancient medicinal plant useful in many ways to humans as well as animals. It belongs to family Solanaceae and commonly called as black night shade. Efforts are made to improve its rate of germination as the plant is temperature dependent. Study was conducted to study effect of hydropriming on seed germination in Solanum nigrum. It was revealed that the time of priming in distilled water increased germination percentage and it decreased gradually at higher period

Keywords:Solanum nigrum L, soaking, hydropriming,germination, productivity
