10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 1 Issue 1 2010 (January - March) A Laboratory experiment was conducted to study the effect of potassium humate (salt of humic acid) on seed germination and seedling growth (root length and shoot length) of lessThan i greaterThan Triticum aestivum lessThan /i greaterThan (L.) cv. Lokvan. The seeds of lessThan i greaterThan Triticum aestivum lessThan /i greaterThan were treated with potassium humate at ten different concentrations (from 0.1 to 1.0%) and water served as control. The seeds were then sown on moist blotter papers and percent seed germination, root length and shoot length of lessThan i greaterThan Triticum aestivum lessThan /i greaterThan were recorded. In order to see the effect of potassium humate (1.0%) on vegetative characters of lessThan i greaterThan Triticum aestivum lessThan /i greaterThan , pot experiments were conducted. At the end of tenth day, potassium humate treated seeds showed positive correlation between concentration of potassium humate and percent seed germination with root length and shoot length of lessThan i greaterThan Triticum aestivum lessThan /i greaterThan against water (control). Regarding the vegetative characters of plants, potassium humate treated plants showed more vegetative growth than control plants (untreated plant). R. B. Patil,S. S. Mokle,S. S.
