This paper focuses on the significance and method of priming which is of present and essential need. The need for following seed priming is due to their multiple benefits in agriculture and crop production like rapid germination, good seed vigor, drought, and heat tolerant, abiotic and biotic stress tolerance behavior are seen in primed crops. However, the method of priming for optimum yield differs from crops to crops which are discussed in detail in findings. For sustainable and eco-friendly farming seed priming is also one of the determinants and influencing factors.

“…3) Seed priming improves the stand uniformity, thus maintained plant population and enhance uniformity at the time of harvest (Debbarma et al, 2017) [6] 4) It also extends the range of temperature for seed germination. 5) Priming enables seeds of many species to germinate and emerge at supra-optimal temperatures (Das et al, 2015) [5] . 6) It also eliminates or greatly reduces the amount of seed-borne pathogen (Basra et al, 2002) [3] 7) Priming enhances the crop yield.…”

Seed may be considered as the most important and vital factor which is structurally a fertilized matured ovule. Seed priming, the process of controlled hydration of seeds up to a level that permits pregerminative metabolic activity of seed to proceed, but prevents actual emergence of the radicle. Seed priming is a simple, safe and effective technology which can be easily adopted by resource-poor farmers and moreover it has the potential to benefit such farmers in a numbers of other ways. Commercialisation of the seed priming technology has been expanded rapidly now a day. Seed priming is a popular, low cost and commercially used technique. For combating biotic and abiotic stress in crops and alleviating the detrimental effects of stress without much affecting its fitness seed priming emerges as a promising technology. Extensive study was done by various workers using different seed priming techniques viz. hydro-priming, halo-priming, osmo-priming, matrix priming, hormonal priming, nutri-priming, biopriming etc.

“…Prehydration of legume seeds before sowing was performed by Roman farmers in order to increase the germination rate and synchronize germination, as reported by the Roman naturalist Gaius Plinius Secundus (Evenari, 1984). On-farm seed priming increased the yield of maize in Zimbabwe and India to a tune of 22 per cent, sorghum in Zimbabwe and Pakistan to a tune of 31 per cent, wheat in India and Pakistan to a tune of 37 percent and upland rice in West Africa to a tune of 70 percent (Das et al, 2015). In numerous cases, the beneficial impact of priming on plant growth is more obvious under nonoptimal than under optimal conditions, leading to the global concept that a major advantage of priming lies in an increase in stress resistance (Miladinov et al, 2020a;Garcia et al, 2021).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of seed priming on seed quality parameters (germination energy, germination, seedling length and vigor index) of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) and sudangrass (Sorghum sudanense Pers.). The experiment was performed at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Novi Sad, Serbia. The research was conducted on the seeds of the sorghum variety NS Džin and sudangrass variety Srem. Distilled water and aqueous extracts of young willow branches (Salix matsudana) and mature banana fruits (Musa x paradisiaca) were used to prime the seeds. The seeds were primed for: 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h. The results showed that priming sorghum and sudangrass seeds in aqueous extracts of young willow branches and mature banana fruits can have a positive effect on seed quality parameters: germination energy, germination, seedling length and vigor index. The greatest effect on germination energy and seed germination was achieved in sudangrass by using an aqueous extract of young willow branches. The increase was 9.30% and 9.20%, respectively. Priming sorghum seeds in aquatic extracts of mature banana fruits had the greatest effect on seedling length and vigor index. The increase was 36.86% and 40.33%, respectively. For all research parameters, priming for 3 h was the most effective. However, in addition to the positive effect, priming can also have a negative effect. The most significant reduction was found on sorghum seeds, when primed in an aqueous extract of mature banana fruit for 24 hours. Germination energy and germination were reduced by 7.14% and 9.30%, respectively.
