SEED PRIMING

The field experiment was conducted during kharif 2018-19 at seed farm, College of Agriculture, Vijayapur to study the effect of seed priming and seed treatment on seed yield and quality in foxtail millet. The field experiment consisted of two factors.

A laboratory investigation was initiated to examine the effect of “Seed priming with nano boron nitride increases the performance of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seedlings” at Department of Agronomy, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bengaluru. The experiment was arranged in completely[r]

Foxtail millet is an important nutri cereals which sustains well in adverse conditions like limited rainfall, poor soil fertility. It has capacity to withstand drought, adaptable to poor environment and input management. A field experiment was conducted at agriculture Research Station, Hagari during[r]

Seed priming techniques for maize and pea crop are not well established for rain-fed agroclimatic conditions of Himachal Pradesh. Keeping this in view, a study was carried out for two years (2014-15 and 2015-16) at the experimental farm of Hill Agricultural Research and Extension Centre, Bajaura, Ku[r]

Another reasons for low productivity is the use of locally available untreated seeds. In view of above fact, present study was undertaken to study the effect of nutrient management and seed priming on micronutrient content and its uptake in little millet.

A field experiment was conducted at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to study the effect of natural ageing and seed priming on field parameters of Indian mustard. Three variety of Indian mustard viz., RH-30, RH-9304 and RH-0406 with three seed lot were evaluated for vigour and viability pa[r]

The effect of Aluminum toxicity on seed germination and other biochemical parameters of two varieties of Barley (RD2052 and RD2552) differing in their sensitivity to aluminum toxicity were studied. In present study different concentrations of Al (Control, 2mM, 4mM and 6mM) were used to impose Alumin[r]

A field experiment was carried out at ‘A-B’ Block farm of BCKV, West Bengal, during subsequent winter seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19 with grass pea variety Ratan (Bio L-212). Ten treatment combinations were laid out in a factorial RBD consisting seed priming with Ammonium molybdate @ 0.5 g kg-1 seed[r]

In the present investigation rice genotype HUR-105 was selected to see the effect of seed priming on yield attributes and grain quality of rice. Priming of seeds has been done with distilled water (hydro), Mg(NO3)2 salt (halo) and kinetin (T3), salicylic acid (hormonal) and different parameters, suc[r]

An experiment was conducted on priming was conducted in Post Graduate Laboratory, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, SHUATS, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh during 2017-2018 on Chilli Kashi Anmol variety. The seeds are treated with[r]

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a wide range of root colonizing bacteria with the capacity to enhance plant growth by increasing seed emergence, producing lytic enzyme and bacteriocin. Soil or seed application of PGPR have been used to enhance growth of the several crops as well as t[r]

The experiment was conducted in Post Graduate Seed Testing Laboratory, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) during Rabi season 2018, in order to find out the best priming method for chickpea (Kabuli). For dif[r]

Worldwide salinity is the foremost soil environmental factor adversely affecting the seed germination, plant growth and yield. Recent studies shows that Lipo Chito Oligosaccharide (LCO-nod factors) as a unique molecule, which is responsible for abiotic stress tolerance. Hence a laboratory experiment[r]

A laboratory experiment was conducted at seed science and technology, college of agriculture, Raichur during December, 2018. Aim is to study the effect of seed quality through integrated approach in prosomillet of resultant seeds. The experiment consisted of 4 priming treatment combinations viz., Co[r]

Depth of sowing for seed spices are kept very shallow (1 to 3cm). Therefore, furrow openers commonly used in seed drills or planter are not very well suited for sowing of seed spices. Some of the spices seed e.g. cumin, coriander and fenugreek are highly sensitive to germination, if proper depth of[r]

Seed metering mechanism is an integral part of any planter. A seed metering mechanism was developed aimed to meter spherical seeds of okra. It consisted of cells termed ''Anjul'' (a double handful) on its periphery, seed box, feeding chute, cleaning brush and seed capturing conical funnel. It was ev[r]
