Background: Blackgram (Vignam ungo L.) is one of the most important legume crops, grown all around world. It used as a vegetable, feed, food and fodder purpose. has lower germination production because its hard outer covering. To improve seedling vigour, priming alters physiological state seed. This change may uniformity, increasing seed vigour or physiology. Primed seeds generate seedlings tha...

abstract- this experiment was carried out during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the agricultural research farm of bu-ali sina university, to study the effect of weed competition on subsequent germination and seed vigour of chickpea. 12 weed interference durations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. experiments consisted of two sets of treatment...

Four local efficient biofertilizer strains namely, Gluconacetobacter G1 and Azospirillum ACD-15 as nitrogen fixers, Pseudomonas striata phosphorus solubilizing bacterium and a potassium were used in developing NPK consortia. Each consortia consisted of one the two fixing bacteria, phosphate (PSB) (KSB) bacteria five different formulations lignite, kaolinite...

Nano particles may be more useful in comparison to bulk materials because they can pass the cell membrane of crops because of their general size. Nano-silicon or SiO2 is one of the major and frequently used engineered oxide nano particles in deferent fields. Quick germination of cultivated seeds and good seedling establishment are key factors to lentil production under salinity stress soil acro...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate and compare the seed extraction methods on physiological quality of eggplant seed in Seed Technology Laboratory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University during 2012-2013 growing season. Full ripen standard size fruits (60 DAA) of eggplant var. BARI begun-5 (round shape) and BARI begun-8 (long shape) were harvested and kept in ambient c...

Abstract Seed vigour is an important aspect of seed quality. It a quantitative trait which responsible for overall performance in terms rate and uniformity germination, seedling growth, emergence ability under unfavourable environments post storage performance. controlled by genetic factors, initial quality, production environments, harvesting conditions. tests provide more sensitive index per ...
