Abstract
Aqueous extracts and leachates of different parts of Mimosa pudica and Borreria stricta on germination and seedling vigour of Cucumis sativus were investigated. The leachates and extracts produced significant stimulatory effects over control and hormones (GA, and IAA, 5Oppm). Mimosa pudica leaf and root leachates were found to be more beneficial to germination and seedling vigour of CUCUMiS sativus.
