Effect of Thiamine and Biotin Vitamins on Growth and Yield of Smooth Wheat Triticum aestivum L

Abstract

Vitamins are organic substances which are present in many forms and are considered as essential for the proper growth of plants. They perform various physiological functions of plants as well as help them in building new tissues. In the present study, the effect of two vitamins (thiamine and biotin) was studied on Triticum aestivum L. (wheat) germination and its growth. The anvil and laboratory experiment was conducted using various concentrations of thiamin and biotin i.e. 1, 5, 10 mg/l. Vegetative characters and chlorophyll content were estimated after treatment. The seed germination rate did not get affected significantly by adding various concentrations of vitamins aquatic extracts in both laboratory and anvil experiments. 10 mg/L concentration of thiamin found to have significant effect on anvils and laboratory experiment. Also, 5mg/L biotin had significant effects, except  number of spike and number of grain in spike did not have substantial effect. Mixed aquatic concentration of thiamin and biotin at a 10mg/L also had significant effect on characters of anvils and laboratory experiment, except spike number in plant.
