Poor germination and low seedling growth of stevia are common problems in the cultivation of the plant. Nutri-priming is a newest, safe, easy, and effective method to increase germination characteristics and seedling tolerance against stress. The objective in this study was to assess the effect of nutri-priming with nano potassium (nano-K), paclobutrazol (PBZ), and salicylic acid (SA) on stevia...

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is directly related to acidic soils and substantially limits maize yield. Earlier studies using hormones and other substances to treat the seeds of various crops have been carried out with the aim of inducing tolerance to abiotic stress, especially chilling, drought and salinity. However, more studies regarding the effects of seed treatments on the induction of Al toleran...
