“…Modern agricultural efforts are now in search of a competent ecological tool based on physical treatment of seeds to enhance the germination, seedling strength and crop yield and recently, pre-sowing MF seed treatment has attracted the attention of agricultural community (Iqbal et al, 2012a;Jamil et al, 2012;Kowalyszyn and Konyk, 2015;Naz et al, 2012;Zia ul Haq et al, 2012). Various researchers have studied and reported that vegetable and grain crops seed treated by magnetic field showed high performance in terms of germination, plant growth, height, seed mass per spike as well as shoot and root length and total fresh and dry masses, chlorophyll contents, enzymatic activities and yield Iqbal et al, 2012a;Jamil et al, 2012;Jamil et al, 2013;Naz et al, 2012;Perveen et al, 2011;Zia ul Haq et al, 2012).…”

“…Germination capacity can be improved with the use of chemical, physical and physiological methods (Andreoli, Khan, 2000) such as seed dressing and encapsulation (Domoradzki, Korpal, 2009), seed conditioning (Maroufi, Farahani, 2011), exposure to visible light with different wavelength and intensity (Muszyński, Gładyszewska, 2008) or stimulation with static or variable electromagnetic field (Lynikiene et al, 2006;Haq et al, 2012;Jamil et al, 2012;Krawiec et al, 2012). Laboratory and field experiments (Mut, Akay, 2010;Hojjat, 2011;Nik et al, 2011;Amin, Brinis, 2013) have revealed that germination energy and capacity are determined by seed size. Larger and heavier seeds germinate earlier, seedlings develop into larger plants and produce higher yield.…”

Relationships between the physical properties of seed and their germination capacity and energy is an important consideration for separating seeds of the highest or lowest quality. The objective of this study was to determine the correlations between the selected aerodynamic, geometric, frictional and mass parameters of cultivated radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seeds and their germination capacity for the purpose of improving seed quality. The parameters were determined for graded and discarded radish seeds and impurities were separated by a gravity separator. A germination test was performed, its results were verified every 12 hours, and the germination rate index was determined. A statistical analysis revealed that germinated and non-germinated seeds from the graded fraction did not differ significantly. In the discarded fraction, germinated seeds were characterized by higher terminal velocity (by approx. 10%), thickness (by approx. 9%) and mass (by approx. 26%) in comparison with non-germinated seeds. Significant positive correlations were noted between the germination time vs terminal velocity and mass of discarded seeds. Thus, the separation of radish seeds should take place in two stages using a gravity separator and a pneumatic separator. A vertical stream of air with the speed of approx. 8 m s -1 allows recovery of around 37% of discarded seeds that contain approx. 86% of healthy germs. The resulting seed mixture is characterized by greater germination energy and capacity than the seed fraction graded on a gravity separator only.

“…The role of rice in the future will be more positive and conspicuous only if its quality and quantity is improved. Various techniques are in practice today to increase the yield of crops in response to increased consumption by using presowing seed or postemergence treatment (Perveen et al 2011;Haq et al 2012;Iqbal et al 2012;Jamil et al 2012;Naz et al 2012;Shahzad et al 2012;Shehzad et al 2012aShehzad et al , 2012b). The quality of kernels can further be improved to attract the consumer and meet the international as well as the national requirements for good quality rice (Bhattacharyya and Singh 1992).…”

Field studies in 2010 and 2011 were conducted to evaluate the effect of variable nitrogen rates (0-100 kg N ha -1 ) and culture methods (transplanted and direct) on chlorophyll contents, yield, grain quality, and economics in rice crop (Oryza sativa L. 'Basmati-385'). Transplanted rice gave a significantly higher paddy yield of 19.18% versus direct-seeded crop. Nitrogen application at 100 kg N ha -1 provided a maximum paddy yield (4.39 and 4.67 t ha -1 ) in both years. The rice kernel characteristics were also affected by culture methods and nitrogen levels. In addition, return variable cost in the transplanted rice increased by 22.27% over direct-seeded rice. Regarding quality, the amylose (24.35%) and protein (8.56%) contents were also higher in transplanted rice as compared to direct seeding at 100 kg N ha -1 application. The lowest amylose contents were recorded in N 0 (23.55%) and N 1 (23.69%) treatments, and amylase contents were also found lower in N 0 and N 1 in the direct seeding method. The nitrogen rate and cultures method also affect the chlorophyll contents positively in transplanted plants at higher level of nitrogen. From the results, it is concluded that under the climatic conditions of Faisalabad, Pakistan, higher paddy yield and yield components, as well as greater economic benefits, can be obtained for the transplanted method at 100 kg N ha -1 nitrogen application as compared to the direct seeding method.
