Comparative Germination Studies of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Linn. Walp) and Soy bean (Glycine max Linn. Merr) on Whole and Water Saturated Fractions of Hydrocarbon (Hexane)

The effects of whole and water saturated fractions (WWSF) of hydrocarbon hexane on the germination of two leguminous crops: Vigna unguiculata (Linn) Walp and Glycine max (Linn) Merr were investigated at the green house of Botany and ecological department university of Uyo Akwa- Ibom State, using Petri dishes at room temperature (±280C), between July and September 2009.
