Abstract

The Moringaceae family includes a fast-growing, evergreen species of Moringa oleifera commonly known as Shajan (nutrients dynamite) that is widespread throughout India. Studies on “Moringa oleifera L. seed quality assessment as impacted by pre-treatments of sowing" was carried out in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. The purpose of this study was to use 4 month old seeds soaking of Moringa oleifera to increase the germination percentage of the seeds, the germination period, get vigour seedlings, and improve growth that was defined by the best quality. Moringa oleifera/ which also examined the seed's morphology, pre-sowing treatment, germination patterns, moisture content, viability, seedling vigour index, volume index, and growth performance. The average seed length, breadth, weight per 100 seeds, moisture content per 100 seeds, and viability per 100 seeds were 16.33 mm, 7.45 mm, 28.98 g, 30%, and 92%, respectively. Significant changes for the aforementioned seed parameters were noted (CD = 0.05). When we treated the seeds, we discovered that Thiourea 5% produces the greatest results when compared to Thiourea 1% and 10%.. The Germination percent (GP), Germination value (GV), Mean germination time (MGT), Seedling vigor index (SVI), Plant height (cm), Collar diameter (mm), Volume Index, sturdiness quotient (SQ) and Root length was recorded were significant (p = 0.05).
