COMPARISON OF SEED TREATMENTS ON THE GERMINATION OF SEVEN PASSION FRUIT SPECIES

Passiflora is a large genus in the family Passifloraceae Juss. ex DC. Many Passiflora species are propagated by seed. However, seeds are often slow to germinate and have low germination rates due to seed dormancy factors. This study was conducted to evaluate four different pre-germination treatments[r]

This study investigated the effect of cold plasma treatment on seed parameters of Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.)] cultivar P-8. The experiment comprising of seeds of two different age viz., ‘A1’ (One year old seed) and ‘A2’ (Two year old seed) and seven plasma treatment using glow discharge techn[r]

The seeds were sown under laboratory conditions (20–22 o

The experiment was conducted to examine the effect of seed storage and seed treatments on seedling growth of Garcinia gummi-gutta at College of forestry, Ponnampet in split plot design in that seed storage selected as main plot and seed treatment as sub plot. In the present study seed stored up to 0[r]

The Fluorescent Pseudomonads were isolated from rhizosphere of fifteen different crops and screened based on their antagonistic effect and effect of metabolites against Jute stem rot pathogen. The five selected isolates were used for seed bacterization to study their effect on seed germination, root[r]

Effect of the nutrient formulations for pre-sowing seed treatment on germination and growth of maize seedlings was studied. The formulations comprised separate copper nanoparticles (NanoCu), IET1- based on a Novalon Seed Treatment product, IET2 - based on humate metal-organic-coordination complexes[r]

The low seed vigor and poor field emergence are main factors that restricting the extension of sweet corn in China. Spermidine (Spd) plays an important role in plant growth and development, but little is known about the effect of Spd on sweet corn seed germination.

India is recognized as a significant producer of orchids in the world. Nearly 1300 species of orchids are found in India which constitutes almost 10 percent of the world orchid flora with Himalayas as their main home (Medhi and Chakrabati, 2009). Orchids are amongst the most advanced flowering plant[r]

Kachchh, the largest district of Gujarat has very fragile environment and poor natural resources. Under such conditions, the cultivation of perennial component of vegetation, particularly the fruit trees, would provide opportunity for sustainable source of livelihood to the inhabitants of the region[r]

The result of the investigation revealed that there were significant variations in germination and seedling growth of custard apple due to cow urine concentrations with soaked duration and PGPR inoculation and interaction of three factors. amongst the different cow urine concentration G1 (20%) recor[r]

Present investigation was carried out in the Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, Karnataka during kharif 2016 and 2017.

The course of observation at Habak Urban park of SKUAST- Kashmir valley during 2016- 18, on the occurrence and pollinating activities of insects on carrots grown for seed, 11 species representing two orders, were collected. Most numerous in species were the hymenopterans families and the dipterous f[r]

Phaius tankervilliae (L’Her.) Blume is one of the most attractive and horticulturally valuable ground orchids of the world. Due to illegal collection for trade and consumption and loss of habitat, the population of this species has decreased rapidly at an alarming rate in natural habitats. In vitro[r]

A study was conducted to evaluate the role of bio-physical traits of ber, Ziziphus mauritiana fruits on varietal preference of stone weevil Aubeus himalayanus Voss (Curculionidae: Coleoptera) infestations. Seven popular Ziziphus varieties was evaluated for their bio-physical traits including fruit s[r]

Fresh seed dormancy in bunch type groundnut has a significant influence on pod yield, oil and protein quality. It is required to avoid economic loss in the form of in-situ germination during unpredictable rainfall at maturity. A study was carried out using 32 bunch type groundnut genotypes and 5 gro[r]
