Enhancement of Seed Germination and Seedling Vigour through Different Seed Priming Treatments in Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.)

Background: Blackgram (Vignam ungo L.) is one of the most important legume crops, grown all around world. It used as a vegetable, feed, food and fodder purpose. has lower germination production because its hard outer covering. To improve seedling vigour, priming alters physiological state seed. This change may uniformity, increasing seed vigour or physiology. Primed seeds generate seedlings that germinate faster more uniformed than unprimed these early are frequently robust resistant to biotic abiotic stresses. time-saving low-cost strategy farmers employ crop stand productivity while reducing cost. Methods: The experiment was carried out in 2016-2017 at Department Genetics Plant Breeding, SHUATS, Prayagraj. (var. PU-31) were primed with Hydro, Halo, Osmo Organic 12 hours. Then, four replications Complete Randomized Block Design test for vigour. Result: experimental results indicated PEG6000@ 20% had highest germination, length indices, followed by CaCl2@ 1%, when compared control other treatments.
