AGRICULTURE: Effects on Germination of Seeds

                Dr. B.G. Bhujbal of Pune M.J.P.Agriculture University has conducted some experiments on Germination of Grape Seeds and cutting in Agnihotra atmosphere. His observation is that despite use of modern technology in the form of use of harmones, scarification, stratification, etc. for germination of grape vines, the germination was very low. It was only 20% and further it takes a very long time, as much as 300 days to sprout. With this lacuna in mind he selected seeds of popular varieties for the study. All the seeds and unrooted cuttings were kept in Agnihotra environment and were also treated with Agnihotra ash, untreated samples from the same lot were used as Control.

              He was startled to observe that the first sprouting took place after only 21 days of sowing. Thus Agnihotra atmosphere induced a rapid germination in a short period of 21 days against Control showing 6 months or more. Root Cuttings showed 10% rooting in Agnihotra treated cuttings as against 80% rooting in Control. The loss of harvest was nil and colour was optimal i.e. Golden Yellow with increase in yield to 24% in Agnihotra treated cuttings as compared to 30% loss of harvest and yellow green colour in Control group. He was amazed to find that Agnihotra atmosphere helps in Raisin making from grapes. The drying of bunches in Agnihotra atmosphere was complete in 21 days and taste was good in 35 days.

                 Dr. Ramashraya Mishra, Associate Professor, Genetics, CSA University of Agriculture, Kanpur, has observed effects of Agnihotra Ash on Varun variety of Rai Seed. During this study Rai seeds were treated with cowdung and cow urine and Agnihotra Ash for 24 hours before sowing and equal quantity was kept untreated as Control. Dr. Mishra observed that Agnihotra Ash treated seeds with dusting of ash gave higher yield by 30%. Similar experimetns in various other fields revealed definitely positive and encouraging effects of Agnihotra in Seed Preservation, increasing Crop Yield. Multiplying Earthworms (which act as natural nutrients for soil), release of Soluble Phosphates from Soil and such concerned things with Agriculture.
