Exterminate consequence of NaF on seed germination and some morphological changes of major pulse crop Cicer aritinum L. Cv. Anuradha (Bengal gram)

In sort to study the result of sodium fluoride on germination and growth of Cicer arietinum L. cv. Anuradha under fluoride stress. The experiment was conducted as factorial with completely randomized design with three replicates. The factor of the experiment are different levels of NaF concentrations (0,25,50,75, and 100ppm).the result showed that increased fluoride content would decrease the components of germination including germination percentage root length and shoot length and wet weight of the seedling. Chlorophyll contents were also decreased in seedling under fluoride stress.
