An experiment was conducted under the field condition during Kharif season (2021- 22) at Central Research Farm,Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. This experiment was done to determine the effect of Pre-sowing seed treatments of Panchagavya, Beejamrutha, Jeevamrutha and Neemoil on plant growth, yield and yield attributing traits of Greengram (Vigna radiata L.)var.PDM-139 Samrat. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with thirteen treatments including control which were replicated thrice. The treatments are as follows. T0-Control, (T1,T2,T3 Panchagavya - @ 3% 5% and 7%), (T4,T5,T6 Beejamrutha @ 1%, 3% and 5%), (T7,T8,T9 Neem oil @1% 3% and 5%) and (T10,T11 and T12 Jeevamrutha 3%,5% and 7%) respectively. The experiment results revealed that seeds treated with T12 – Jeevamrutha 7% gave better results than other treatments viz. Field emergence (22.46), Plant height 20, 40 and 60 DAS (14.10 cm, 24.26 cm and 50.90 cm), Days to 50% flowering (32.33), Days to maturity (45.33), Number of primary branches per plant (10.60), Seed index (4.10), Number of pods per plant (19.50), Number of Seeds per pod (9.73), Seed yield per plant (3.06g),Seed yield per plot (82.33 gm) and Biological yield per plot (251.4 gm) were recorded significantly higher compared to other treatments with Harvest index (32%). Overall, seed treatment with treatment T12 – Jeevamrutha at 7% for 8 hours attained the best results out of the thirteen treatments evaluated in the study and untreated control (T0) performed least with low vigor and yield amongst the treatments.
