Laboratory experiment was conducted with the objective to standardize the seed coating polymer in Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.). The experiment consisted of five different dosages of polymer (P) along with a control viz., P1: Control, P2: polymer @ 2 ml per kg of seed, P3: polymer @ 4 ml per kg of seed, P4: polymer @ 6 ml per kg of seed, P5: polymer @ 8 ml per kg of seed, P6: polymer @ 10 ml per kg of seed. Among the treatments imposed, seed coating polymer @ 8 ml/kg of pigeonpea seeds recorded significantly higher germination, speed of germination, shoot length (cm), root length (cm), seedling dry weight (mg/seedling) and seedling vigour index (SVI) as compared to control. However, seed coating polymer @ 8 ml/kg of seed was significantly not different with the results obtained by seed coating polymer (@ 10 ml/kg and @ 6 ml/kg respectively) of seed. Therefore, the polymer @ 6 ml/kg of seed was found to be economically feasible over all the treatments.
