Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is the fifth most important cereal that is widely used for food, feed, and industrial purposes. Sorghum is cultivated mostly in the central and eastern parts of Indonesia. Sorghum seed viability and vigor influence its productivity by affecting crop growth and stand establishment. Invigoration can also be called conditioning or priming, and is one method that could enhance seed germination in the soil under abiotic stress. Some priming methods are hydro priming, osmopriming, and matrix conditioning. This paper will discuss research on sorghum priming which showed that many priming techniques could improve germination performance, speed of germination, and emergence uniformity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
