Seed priming is a technique which is potentially able to promote rapid and more uniform seed germination and plant growth as well. In this regards, the presowing effects of seed priming treatments were investigated on some physiological viz. seed germination, germination rate, radicle elongation, shoot elongation, radicle dry weight, shoot dry weight and vigor index. Seeds were subjected to two...

Soil salinity affects a large part of the region in Iran. Salinity covers 12.5% oftotal area of the country. Priming of seeds in sodium chloride and water (hydro-priming)has been reported to be a simple technique for enhancing the seedling establishment andgermination performance in the seeds of many crops and small seeded grasses under thestress conditions. Therefore, the aim of this research ...

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 ...

The aim of this field experiment conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, was to investigate impact different seed priming techniques and sowing dates on yield quality wheat. study aimed identify most effective technique optimal date enhance wheat productivity minimize reduction. employed a split plot design with two factors: (no priming, hydro...

Soil salinization processes have increased over the years and affect large parts of agricultural fields. The purpose this review was to highlight most important aspects regarding potential effects soil salinity on plants. In current context climate change, extreme weather drought periods can lead plant metabolic dysfunctionalities accumulation salt ions because increasing need for irrigation. l...

Poor seed germination obstructs the early and uniform seedling emergence at sub-optimal conditions which can be a major setback to spring cucumber growers. Different priming methods ought efficient solutions for problem. To standardize best method, an experiment was laid out in Completely randomized design Horticulture lab of IAAS, Lamjung Campus. The treatment consisted demineralized distilled...

Wheat is a widely cultivated cereal throughout the world and stress caused by low temperatures significantly affects all stages of wheat development. Seed priming an effective method to produce stress-resistant plants. This work was carried out determine whether different methods (hormo-, halo-, osmo-, hydropriming) can increase resistance low-temperature conditions (10 °C). The effect on growt...
