“…It was reported that osmopriming of watermelon seeds caused a decrease in mean germination time and an increase of germination percentage (Demir and Van de Vanter, 1999). Also in agreement with our data, several studies reported a positive effect of priming on seed germination percentage (Rouhi et al, 2010;Misra and Dwivedi, 1980;Bradford et al, 1990;Job et al, 1997;Ozbingol et al, 1998;Chiu et al, 2002). Subedi and Ma (2005) noted that one of the most important conditions for crop potential performance is fast and uniform germination, which is a resultant of seed priming in the farm.…”

Rapid and uniform seed germination and stand establishment are critical factors of crop production under any condition. Seed priming has been known as one of the most effective seed enhancement techniques to improve germination under unfavorable conditions. Antioxidants are critical factors for vigorous seed germination. Seeds with higher antioxidant profiles are more tolerant to unsuitable conditions than other seeds. A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the influence of the seed priming technique on seed performance during germination and on antioxidant activity of Bersim clover seeds, an economically important forage crop. Seeds were osmoprimed using solutions of polyethylene glycol-6000 (PEG-6000) giving osmotic potentials of -0. 8, -1,-1.2,-1.4 and -1.6, MPa for two priming periods (8 and 16 h). Then best priming treatments were further assessed by measurements of antioxidant enzyme activities. The general finding is that seed priming improved final germination percentage, germination rate, seedling length and vigor indexes. Maximum invigoration was observed in seeds osmoprimed at -0.8 MPa for 16 h. Antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase) in treated seeds of Bersim clover were significantly increased compared to those in control untreated seeds.

Background and Objective: Vitamins are natural substances that are important in tiny quantities to sustain the normal growth and development of the plant. Thus this study was carried out to study the physiological effect of pyridoxine on increasing yield quantity and quality of Egyptian clover plant. Materials and Methods: In sandy soil at the Research and Production Station, National Research Centre, Nubaria Province, Behaira Governorate, two field experiments were carried out during two consecutive winter seasons to study the effects of pyridoxine treatment on the yield and nutritional value of Egyptian clover. Results: Spraying Egyptian clover with pyridoxine significantly increased yield attributes, crude protein, Ash contents, however, crude fibre content decreased by 50 or 75 mg LG 1 . Pyridoxine levels significantly decreased nitrogen, free extract contents. Pyridoxine with 100 mg LG 1 significantly increased gross, digestible, metabolizable and net energy, total digestible nutrients, digestible crude protein, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre, acid detergent lignin and cellulose contents in comparison with control and the other treatments. Cut stages affect the significantly chemical composition and their contents of both energetic and nutritive values and cell wall constituents. Moreover, there were significant interactions between pyridoxine supplementation and berseem cut stages on chemical composition and their contents of energetic and nutritive values and cell wall constituents. Also, photosynthetic pigments, carbohydrates constituents, indole acetic acid, phenolic and flavonoids contents were increased gradually with increasing pyridoxine concentrations. Conclusion: In conclusion, different pyridoxine treatments have a promotive effect on increasing the forage yield of the berseem plant in addition to its nutritive values.

“…Jenis PEG yang sering digunakan dalam meningkatkan mutu fisiologis benih adalah PEG 6000 yang mempunyai sifat tidak beracun dan dapat mengontrol imbibisi (Yuanasari et al, 2015). Perendaman dengan PEG 6000 dapat meningkatkan daya berkecambah, keserempakan tumbuh, bobot kecambah, rata-rata waktu berkecambah, indeks vigor, panjang hipokotil dan epikotil (Rouhi et al, 2010). Ultra fine bubbles merupakan teknologi yang belum banyak dikaji dalam hubungannya dengan perbaikan mutu fisiologis benih.…”

Utilization of seeds storage results in decreased plant productivity. The increase can be used by treating seeds before planting through the technique of invigoration. This purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of invigoration methods using polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) and ultrafine bubbles (UFB) to improve viability and vigor of sengon seeds (Falcataria moluccana). Seed agieng using 96 % ethanol was carried out to obtain the diversity of seedlot viability as the materials for testing the effectiveness of invigoration treatments. A complete random design was used to test the effectiveness of 5 invigoration treatments, i.e., seed without invigoration treatment, soaking in PEG 6000 -0.8 Mpa, soaking in PEG 6000 -1.2 Mpa, soaking in UFB water injected by environmental air, and soaking in UFB water injected by oxygen 99 %, with soaking time is 24 hours for each treatment. Seed agieng resulted three classes of seed viability, i.e. 62 % (initial seed), 83 % (seed agieng for 30 minutes) and 57 % (seed agieng for 60 minutes). In the condition of seed germination before treatment (DBA) 57 % and DBA 62%, invigoration treatments were significantly affected on seed germination capacity, but not significantly different in DBA 83 %. The soaking treatment of UFB injected by oxigen 99 % was able to improve the germination parameters (germination capacity, germination rate, and vigor index) on the sengon seeds with DBA 57 %. For seeds with DBA 62 %, the soaking treatment in UFB injected by environmental air was provided the best germination capacity, T50, and vigor index. The treatment of UFB injected by oxygen 99 % was more effective to improve the seed with very low viability and vigor (DBA 57 %). In general, improving of seed viability and vigor is more effective by using UFB than PEG 6000.
