Effect of late Sowing and Hydropriming Time on some Seed Vigour Attributes of Five Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Lines

A set of laboratory tests was conducted in 2015, at the Central Seed Administration, Ministry Agriculture andForestry, Khartoum, Sudan, with objective to investigate effect late sowing and hydro priming times on some seed vigour attributes five chickpea lines ( DR1-27-5; DR1-44; DR1-109; DR1-114 DR1- 115). Seeds were provided by Hudeiba Research Station, from planting optimum date (November); (January) harvest season 2011/2012. The experiment completely randomized design four replications. Treatments dates(2), hydropriming time (4) (5) Data collected initial moisture content, 100 weight, germination percentage rate, seedling fresh dry weights. results indicated that had highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) affecting seedlingdry weight. showed all studied parameters. There positive correlation between 100-seed percent weights; but these parameters negatively correlated rate germination. Further studies are neededto investigate, depth, mechanism heat tolerance determination appropriate hydro-priming for seeds
