“…Increase in germination and seedling length might have contributed for enhancement of seedling vigour index I. The results are in conformity with Chauhan et al (2016) [5] in sorghum who reported that priming medium KH2PO4 produced the highest seedling vigour index. This finding also was similar with Umair et al…”

Poor germination obstructs early and uniform seedling stand in cucumber. A laboratory experiment was conducted at the department of seed science and technology, College of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences Raichur, during 2018-19 using Completely Randomized Design having 12 priming treatments with four replications to evaluate the possibility of improvement in emergence and early seedling growth in cucumber by pre-sowing treatments. Seeds of cucumber were soaked in different priming solution of for 24 h and evaluated for seed physiological and biochemical seed quality parameters. Results showed that seeds primed with KH2PO4 @ 0.001 M (T8) registered significantly highest germination per cent, shoot length, root length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index I, seedling vigour index II and dehydrogenase enzyme activity (89.00%, 22.96 cm, 22.77 cm, 498.27 mg, 4070, 44347 and 0.494 respectively) and lowest (0.211 dSm -1 ) electrical conductivity compared to other treatments and control (T1) (76.50%, 11.14 cm, 10.22 cm, 400.32 mg, 1634, 30625 and 0.231 respectively). But significantly highest (0.695 dSm -1 ) electrical conductivity was observed in control (T1).

“…In terms of yield-attributing characters, the 15% Pseudomonas fluorescens (LF) for 8 h priming treatment was the second best of foxtail millet studied. The findings agreed with those of (Sathish et al 2011) in maize hybrid and (Chauhan et al 2016) in sorghum. The improved seed performance caused by KH 2 PO 4 priming could be attributed in part to metabolic repair processes, the accumulation of germination metabolites, or osmotic adjustment during treatment.…”

The experiments were carried out both in the laboratory as well as in the field condition. Field experiments were conducted to determine the productivity of foxtail millet due to different seed priming treatments. Halo priming with KH2PO4 @ 2 %, CaCl2 @ 2%, osmo priming with Mannitol @ 2 %, PEG @ -15 Bars, bio priming with Pseudomonas fluorescens (LF) @ 15, Prosophis leaf extract @ 10 % with seed to solution ratio of 1:1 for the soaking duration of 8 h along with unprimed, Thiram @ 2g/kg and hydro primed seeds were evaluated for its productivity during kharif and rabi seasons. The results revealed that the crop performance with regard to growth parameters, physiological parameters, yield and yield attributing parameters was outperformed in halo-priming with 2% KH2PO4 for 8 hrs primed seeds during kharif season than rabi.

“…Our results demonstrate that the germination or emergence of a seed lot can be improved via seed treatment methods, where seed priming had a positive effect on the dynamics of germination and where chitosan and potassium permanganate provided the best results. Positive effects of potassium permanganate priming have been reported previously for wheat and sorghum seeds [55,56]. Our study has presented positive results for this priming method on the dynamics of germination and emergence with the simultaneous support of the growth of lucerne seedlings.…”

Seed treatments have a potential to improve seed performance traits and consequently optimize crop establishment. However, there is a lack of systematic research for these techniques in lucerne, especially under field conditions. The goal of this study was to investigate the potential of various seed treatments on the improvement of lucerne germination and emergence under lab conditions and early seedling growth in the field. Compared treatments were heat treatment; seed priming with water, potassium permanganate, chitosan, vermitea, or bokashi juice; and seed coating with cinnamon, gypsum, wood ash, tannin quebracho, and cocoa powder. Among the seed priming methods, potassium permanganate and chitosan provided the best results in the improvement of seedling length or emergence dynamics, whilst coating with bentonite and gypsum could be recommended for having a positive impact on root development. Cinnamon powder significantly improved the emergence dynamics, seedling, and shoot length. The combination of priming and coating methods seems to be the most effective when assessed under the field conditions, where some positive response in root traits can be evaluated.
