Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) as a grain and fiber crop is experiencing resurgence in North America. Due to governmental prohibition, there has been limited information on regional agronomic production systems including basic seed germination. This study was initiated provide the relationship between temperature germination seed. Germination measured at constant temperatures ranging from...

The low seed germination response and seedling growth of crops to salinity is common problem in Pakistan. To overcome this problem,seed priming used as an economic effective approach. Present study was conducted evaluate the effects halopriming ofseeds on germination, yield tomato under saline conditions. seeds variety ‘Raja’ were primed with 0, 50mM 100mM NH4NO3, KNO3, (NH4)2SO4 solutions for ...

Soil salinity is considered crucial for seed germination, seedling growth, and crop production in arid semi-arid regions. Seed priming can be an effective solution to improve maize germination under stress. An experiment was conducted study the effect of with NaCl stress on growth variety Arun-2. Before sowing, eighty seeds were soaked 5g/L aqueous 12 hours at 27-degree Celsius. Primed unprimed...

to evaluate the effects of seed priming with salicylic acid on quality and baking traits of wheat flour, cv. alvand, under different sowing dates, a factorial experiment was conducted on the basis of complete randomized block design. the factors were seed priming with salicylic acid (including untreated seeds or control treatment, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 µm concentrations of salicyl...

This study aimed to assess the effects of hydro-priming duration and peanut seed size on germination performance root shoot characteristics seedlings under drought conditions. Two experiments were conducted laboratory nursery. Peanut sizes (S1: small seeds S2: large seeds) designated as main plots, priming (P1: 0 hour, P2: 5 hours, P3: 10 hours) was considered subplots. A 2 × 3 split-plot compl...

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seeds have poor shelf life and exhibit thermoinhibition (fail to germinate) above ∼25°C. Seed priming (controlled hydration followed by drying) alleviates thermoinhibition by increasing the maximum germination temperature, but reduces lettuce seed longevity. Controlled deterioration (CD) or accelerated ageing storage conditions (i.e. elevated temperature and relative...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite differences in physiology between dry and relative moist seeds, seed ageing tests most often use a temperature and seed moisture level that are higher than during dry storage used in commercial practice and gene banks. This study aimed to test whether seed ageing under dry conditions can be accelerated by storing under high-pressure oxygen. methods: Dry barley (Horde...
