Kinetin enhanced the germination ability of the seed under high temperature conditions (McCoy and Harrington, 1970) as well as under drought stress conditions (Kaufman and Ross, 1970).

Interest in the use of growth regulators in crop production arises from the beliefs of plant physiologists that maximum levels of plant productivity Kinetin promote seed germination. Kinetin has several form. kin 10-1, kin 10-2, kin 10-3…..so on. All the Gibberellins are able to promote either stem elongation or cell division although their relative effectiveness may be different.

Studied for determining effect of different concentration of kinetin in Wheat on percentage germination and seedling growth in terms of shoot and root lengths and dry weight distribution. Under Laboratory and Field conditions.
