“…Among the treatments, Treatment T 4 : H 2 O 2 -2% emerged as the standout performer, displaying the longest shoot length of 14.2 cm, indicating its effectiveness in promoting robust shoot development (Figure . 1). In their study on okra, Iqbal et al (2001) discovered results like those obtained by Rahman et al (1997), who found the same outcome in their research involving two varieties of groundnuts. Following closely, Treatment T 2 : SMP-Sand Metrix Priming exhibited a notable shoot length of 13.5 cm, showcasing its substantial impact on shoot growth.…”

“…Within the treatments, Treatment T 4 : H 2 O 2 -2% emerged as the frontrunner, displaying the longest root length of 11.7 cm, indicating its effectiveness in promoting robust root growth (Figure . 1). Iqbal et al (2001) identified congruent findings in their exploration of okra, mirroring the parallel results obtained by Rahman et al (1997) in their investigation involving two distinct varieties of groundnuts. Following closely, Treatment T 2 : SMP-Sand Metrix Priming exhibited a notable root length of 10.5 cm, showcasing its substantial impact on root development.…”

The study was designed to overcome the low germination of okra seed and to assess the effects of different seed priming treatments on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seedlings, which were encompassed nine treatments: control, hydro priming, SMP-sand metrix priming, H2SO4 - 40%, H2O2 - 2%, NaCl - 3%, KCl - 3%, CaCl2 - 3%, and KI - 1%. A randomized complete block design was used with three replications. Germination percentages, germination speed index (GSI), seedling vigor index (SVI), and relative growth rate (RGR) were measured. The highest germination percentage (89.77%) and GSI (9.6) were observed with (H2O2 - 2%). T3 (H2SO4 - 40%) exhibited the highest SVI (0.7), indicating robust seedling health. Additionally, H2O2 - 2%. demonstrated the longest root and shoot length (11.7 cm and 14.2 cm, respectively) and highest seedling fresh weight (0.87 g). Treatment with H2SO4 - 40% displayed the highest dry weight (0.18 g). Notably, H2O2 - 2% treatment significantly enhanced germination and growth compared to the control. These findings underscore the potential of seed priming, particularly H2O2 - 2%, in enhancing okra seedling growth and development, offering valuable implications for crop productivity and establishment.
