I used to use nitrozyme to germinate banana seeds, then I did a little comparison between plain water, 1 gram per litre epsom salts and 20 ml/l nitrozyme. I found that for speed of germination the epsom salts was the best, followed by water with nitrozyme a very sad third. However there may have been flaws in my results. I followed the instructions on the nitrozyme itself which states to soak the seed for 24 hours, at this point I had found that soaking for a week in water was the best way to go. So I soaked for 6 days then soaked in nitrozyme for 24 hours. (Maybe I need to re-test this)

There is a lot of talk of nitrozyme in the archives on this site in the germination forum. You have to look at the very old posts though. That's where I got the idea initially.
