Abstract	A experiment was conducted in laboratory to study the effect of potassium humate (Humic acid) on seed germination and Seedling growth of cotton (Gossypium sp.). Potassium humate is the salt of humic acid. In order to study the ten different concentrations (from 0.1 to 1.0%) of potassium humate, seeds of cotton were treated with potassium humate and water as control. The seeds were sown on moist blotter papers to record percent seed germination, root length and shoot length of cotton. At the end of tenth day, potassium humate (from 0.1 to 1.0%) treated seeds showed stimulating effect on percent seed germination with root length and shoot length of cotton against water (control).
Keywords	Humic acid, Potassium humate and seed germination.
