Abstract
The aimof this experiment was to test the effect of manure and biofertilizers on electrical conductivity andgermination potential after accelerated ageing of fresh, 3 and 6 months stored carrot seeds. The experimentwas conducted in the laboratory of seed science and technology, CCS HAU, Hisar during the year 2019-20.The results revealed that, application of T14 (FYM 12.5t/ha+ PM 2t/ha+ VC 4t/ha + Azo+PSB) significantlyreduced the electrical conductivity as compared to control and other treatments. Further, artificially agedseeds through accelerated ageing test also recorded higher germination potential in the same treatment forfresh, 3 and 6 months stored seeds.
