Effect of Carbendazim on Morphological and Biochemical parameters of Sorghum bicolor

Hybrid Sorghum (G-204) seeds were treated with a systemic fungicide Carbendazim in varied concentrations. Morphological and biochemical parameters were analyzed. Multiple sets were prepared for comparision with untreated sets. All parameters were analyzed using standard methods and the results were subjected to 2 tailed “t” test, Pearson’s Correlation Matrix and Bray- Curtis similarity index. The data was analyzed to know the effect of Carbendazim on Sorghum seeds. A strong correlation exists between Vigor index and nonreducing sugar, vigor index and total carbohydrates and nonreducing sugar and total carbohydrates in the samples treated with the fungicides. 96% similarity is seen between shoot lengths to root length when Bray-Curtis similarity index was applied.
