Abstract

The modern agricultural sector faces the challenges of addressing the needs of the fast-growing global population. This process should be both high-yielding and sustainable without creating risks to the environment or human health. Therefore, natural products are gaining attention in the production of safe and nutritious food. In systematic efforts to develop affordable and effective biostimulants, we examined the impact of botanical extracts on the nutritional parameters of Rajmash seeds under field conditions. Rajmash is a highly nutritious legume with a good amount of protein. The effect of natural products of Wolffia arrhizaon Rajmash (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has been studied by 12 hours of pre-soaking seed treatment at lab temperature. The observations show that length of pod, seed weight per plant and weight of 100 seeds of Rajmash plant showed maximum value in seed treated with 5% ether extract and these maximum value as compare to control showed significant at 5% probability (P = 0.01) increase.
