The present study were carried out in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, NDUAT, Faizabad during rabi season 2014-15 and 2015-16 entitled “standardization of biofortification and hydropriming for enhance seed yield and its quality parameters in chickpea (Cicer arietinum l.)” The objective of the study was assessing the comparative performance of yield and qual...

A series of seed priming experiments were conducted to test the effects of different pretreatment methods to seed germination, seedling growth, and seed yield traits in maize (Zea mays L.). Results indicated that the seeds primed by gibberellins (GA), NaCl, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) reagents showed a higher imbibitions rate compared to those primed with water. The final germination percenta...

ABSTRACT: Seed priming was used in wheat seeds to increase germination characteristics and tolerance on stress exposure. Wheat seeds were treated with salicylic acid and gibberellin. After 8 days our results showed that, seed priming treatments significantly (p≤ 0.01) affected germination percentage, normality seedling percentage, germination index and seedling length. Seed priming with salicyl...

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...

Low soil temperature is one of the reasons for poor germination and establishment of maize. The aim of this study was to evaluatethe possibilityof improvingthe seedling emergence and performance of maize under low temperature stress. A pot experiment was conducted on Zea maize (single cross 704) at 14 ºC as cold stress and seed treatments were priming with  200,  300 and 400ppm of GA3; 100, 200...

this experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of rhizobium strains and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria(pgpr) on yield and yield components of chickpea (cicer arientinum l.) arman cultivar. this research was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design at zanjan university researchal farm. irrigation levels(optimum irrigation during season growth and no irrigat...

In order to investigate the effect of different levels of nitrogen and bio-fertilizers on yield of canola plants in Qazvin, Iran, a split-plot design was conducted on the base of randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments included 3 levels of nitrogen (0, 75 and 150 kg ha-1) and bio-fertilizers on four levels (no inoculation, Azotobacter, Azospirillum and a combination ...

objective: to evaluate the effect of chemical stimuli on germination and seedling growth of caper (capparis spinosa) under drought stress. methods: factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment were performed. first factor of priming include three levels of acetylsalicylic acid (300, 200 and 100 mg/l), gibberellic acid levels (500, 250 and 125 ppm), a...
