Dynamics of the Ocimum basilicum L. Germination under Seed Priming Assessed by an Updated BBCH Scale

Germination of the medicinal and aromatic plant basil raises interesting questions due to its no seed periodicity dormancy demand, priming could help assure permanent needs for this herb. The study aimed provide an adapted BBCH (Biologische Bundesanstalt Bundessortenamt CHemical industry) scale germination secondary stages sweet Ocimum basilicum L. (var. MVSt). A standardized test was performed with hydropriming, electric field, magnetic field as methods assess changes in germination. time range each stage recorded added BBCH, highlight daily changes. All increased capacity 2–3% compared control, highest value electropriming. studied improved changed pattern scale. energy set more than 90% all primed seeds, a maximum 91.75% field. needed 50% seeds 6.5 days germinated were after 11.7 days. 09a lasted 9 control 10 conditions 7 magnetoprimed seeds.
