Abstract The effects of hydrogel granules mixed with peat substrate on germination, morphological and physiological parameters plugged seedlings were tested in tomato seedlings, at two different irrigation regimes. Due to presence, the germination speed was increased, whereas mean time significantly reduced. Slight improvement recorded regarding final but no effect found synchronisation index s...

The influence of seed invigoration on yield and quality was studied in two seasons, i.e., summer kharif. Among the seasons studied, parameters significantly differed for both seasons. Summer recorded highest values growth parameters, viz., field emergence plant population at harvest (91.75 87.75 %, respectively), number nodules (35.71), (q/ha) (3.49), germination (%) (g) (91.7), seedling vigour...

The present investigation was carried out during 2018–19 to evaluate the variation in seed dimension and most promising pre-treatments for accelerating germination of Spondias pinnata Linn. various pre-sowing treatments were Control (no treatment); soaking cold water 24 hours; 48 h; 72 100 ppm thiourea 200 400 800ppm 1000 KNO3 12 800 h h. experiment laid randomised block design with 13 control ...

The experiment was conducted in the Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology and Science, Prayagraj, during 2021-2022. laid out Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 7 hybrids each hybrid replicated 3 times. different used were npy x Golden Crown Black Hawk, Maung Red Bracelet, mkmk, Bracelet Big Flower Bb Chadda Petch, Bb(F1) Hawk. result obtained showed...

Greater early vigour has potential for increasing biomass and grain yields of wheat crops in Mediterranean-type environments. Embryo size is an important determinant of early vigour in barley and likely to contribute to greater vigour in wheat. Little is known of the underlying genetic control for embryo size, or its genetic association with early vigour in wheat. Over 150 doubled-haploid lines...
