Effect of fermented Wild Plant Leaf Extract on Seed Germination and Growth of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus. (L.)Moench

Eight different wild plant leaves (Neem - Azardirachta indica, Ricinus communis, Annona squamosa, Pongamia pinnata, Datura innoxia, Carica papaya, Nerium olender,Lantana camara were collected and brought to the laboratory and washed with distilled water, blought to dry and 100 gram of each selected wild plant leaves were taken along with 1 K.G. Cow dung and 1 litre Cow Urine all these kept for fermentation in a vial for 30 days. After fermentation the filtrate was collected and various concentrations with distilled water were made (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% and control).The Okara seeds were soaked in these concentrations separately for overnight on next day the seeds were taken out washed with distilled water and placed on germination paper for further study. The germination count and seedling growth were recorded (R.L. Agerwal 1976).
