Abstract

---

Soaking of wheat seeds in humic acid solution resulted in an seedling growth . roots were highly developed and extensive development of secondary roots took place. Soaking of seds in humic acid solution enhanced the uptake of water by roots whereas shoot portion gathered more dry weight. Maximum effect was obtained after 8 hours of seed soaking . soaking of seeds also favoured the growth of seedlings in the presence of high concentration of salts in the growth medium.
