Mechanization and simplification are inevitable trends in agriculture production to decrease input demands and simultaneously improve resource use efficiency. Dry direct-seeded rice is a resource-saving cropping system and has been considered as a replacement for traditional transplanted rice. However, the poor establishment of dry direct-seeded early rice, primarily induced by chilling stress,...

Seed germination, emergence and crop growth are often constrained by multiple environmental stress under field condition limiting productivity. priming, a age old inexpensive technique, consisting of soaking seeds in priming agent prior to sowing, has been applied different crops conditions with varying degrees success. To understand the significance this potentially transformative agronomic st...

welsh onion (allium fistulosum l.) is one of the important vegetable crops in china. however, the seeds of this crop are short-lived and their vitality tends to be easily lost in the course of storage. the present study was conducted to elucidate the effects of welsh onion seed priming with potassium nitrate (kno3) on seed vigor and on other such related mechanisms during twelve months of stora...

The purpose of this study was to examine the evaluating the potential of seed priming techniques in improving germination and early seedling growth of Aeluropus Macrostachys under salinity stress condition. This study was performed at the Islamic Azad University in Baft city which is located in southeast of kerman province (2250 meters above the sea level, 92º 17 N latitude and 56º 36 E longitu...

Rice belongs to tropical and subtropical environments and is extremely sensitive to chilling stress particularly during emergence and early stages of seedling development. Seed priming can be a good approach to enhance rice germination and stand establishment under chilling stress. The present study examined the role of different seed priming techniques viz., hydropriming, osmopriming, redox pr...
