A set of laboratory tests was conducted in 2015, at the Central Seed Administration, Ministry Agriculture andForestry, Khartoum, Sudan, with objective to investigate effect late sowing and hydro priming times on some seed vigour attributes five chickpea lines ( DR1-27-5; DR1-44; DR1-109; DR1-114 DR1- 115). Seeds were provided by Hudeiba Research Station, from planting optimum date (November); (...

Seed germination, emergence and crop growth are often constrained by multiple environmental stress under field condition limiting productivity. priming, a age old inexpensive technique, consisting of soaking seeds in priming agent prior to sowing, has been applied different crops conditions with varying degrees success. To understand the significance this potentially transformative agronomic st...

To evaluate the effect of planting method (PM), date (PD), and cultivar (CV) on yield, irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE), grain quality maize, a two-year field study was conducted during 2017 2018 growing seasons. The experiment arranged as split-plot factorial with three PD, including PD1 (July 1st), PD2 11th), PD3 23rd) main plots. Three PM direct seeding (DS), seed hydropriming (HP), tr...

Abstract: This study evaluates the effects of hydration and dehydration cycles (HD cycles) on seed germination four Caatinga tree species (Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil, Enterolobium contortisiliquum, Pityrocarpa moniliformis Pterogyne nitens) subjected to different temperatures determine thermal upper lower limits germination. For this, seeds were 0, 1, 2 3 HD set germinate at 5, 10, 15, ...
