To study the effects of hydro priming on seed quality parameters bhendi a laboratory work was conducted at Mother Teresa college agriculture in 2021. For this experiment, with aim evaluating seeds were soaked water different duration i.e, 3 hrs, 6 9 12 15 while dry used as control (unprimed) investigated CRD, each treatment being replicated three times. The result revealed that significantly sh...

effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under controlled conditions. the primed seeds with znso4 had the maximum germination percentage whereas the highest germination rate was observed in hydro-primed seeds. the treated seeds with peg showed the best growth of the seedlings and rootlet. the complementary field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef...

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a microwave-assisted chemical method. ZnO nanostructures were synthesized via a fast reaction between zinc acetate and ammonia at presence citric acid and other effective agents in chemical procedure. Nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction , scanning electron microscopy. Seed yield and seed quality of safflower grown under drought stress. Th...

effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on yield and yield components of cowpea (vigna unguiculata) cultivar “parastou” were investigated under water deficit conditions. experiment was carried out as a split block design with three replications in 2008-2009 at research station of zanjan university. factors included drought stress as main factor with three levels (normal irrigation, applicatio...

to evaluate the effects of seed priming with salicylic acid on quality and baking traits of wheat flour, cv. alvand, under different sowing dates, a factorial experiment was conducted on the basis of complete randomized block design. the factors were seed priming with salicylic acid (including untreated seeds or control treatment, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 µm concentrations of salicyl...

Background & Aim: Because of seed germination ability of medicinal plants seed is low and, generally exposed to problem. Priming is one of the techniques that help seeds to be germinated faster and uniformly. Experimental: A laboratory experiment was carried out on germination and growth improvement in Heracleum persicum Desf.  by seed osmo-primming in Seed Technology Labora...
