Fresh weight of root and shoot as well as there was found interaction among imbibition solutions and seed groups. The aged seed treated with ZnSO4 0.5٪ was superior at germination seed. while the aged and non-aged seed treated with water and different concentration of KNO3 recorded increase in main root length.
