Abstract
Effect of mutagenesis on seedling germination on field in two different varieties of
Cicer arietinum L. was studied. Varied concentrations of chemical mutagens viz. Ethyl
Methane Sulfonate (EMS) 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.15% and Sodium Azide (SA) 0.01%, 0.02% and
0.03% were used. Two different varieties of Cicer arietinum L. i.e., BDNG-797 and
BDNGK-798 were obtained from Agriculture Research University, Badnapur, Dist: Jalna.
th
Effect of these mutagens on seedling germination on field was studied on 6
day. Highest
germination percentage was recorded. The most effective mutagen observed was EMS.
