Abstract:
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the prime food ingredients of vegetarian meals and fulfills the nutritive commodities of the human individuals in the whole world. It also contains most of the essential nutrients like fibers and proteins. To approach whether the artificial application growth fastening substances like ascorbic acid, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol etc. at development stages i.e., seed germination or emerging foliar or inflorescence buds would be valuable or not. The role of ascorbic acid through seed priming in pea (Pisum sativum L.) was analyzed in different cultivars of Pea plant i.e., Meteor and Classic. The morphological patterns were found to be enhancing under all levels ascorbic acid treatments. Basic biochemical components were also increased gradually in both varieties (Meteor and Classic) of pea. It was recommended that the application of growth promoting hormones or vitamins before sowing was helpful in crop plants to increase their qualitative and quantitative yields. It would be workable procedure to shield the economical plants against stresses.
