The
present work embodies the germination behavior of fenugreek seeds in response
to different bryophytic extracts. The Riccia sps. and
Anthoceros sps. are very abundant in Konkan region during the
month of August to October. The aqueous extracts and methanolic extracts of Riccia
sps. and Anthoceros sps. were tested to study the effects on
seed germination and seedling growth of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek).
Initiation of germination adversely affected by the increase in concentration
of extract in organic solvent but in aqueous extract seed germination was not
delayed significantly. Total time taken for the completion of germination
varied between the bryophyte species, concentration and the solvent used.
