abstract heterotrophic seedling growth has described as the product of the following dynamic and to transmit seed reserves and the conversion efficiency of mobilized seed reserves to seedling tissue. this research was carried out to evaluate germination and seedling growth of wheat seed (n8019) in the form of combined analysis design with crd arrangement. treatments consisted of 4 levels of wat...

effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under controlled conditions. the primed seeds with znso4 had the maximum germination percentage whereas the highest germination rate was observed in hydro-primed seeds. the treated seeds with peg showed the best growth of the seedlings and rootlet. the complementary field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef...

wheat, cv. alvand, under late sowing condition and comparison with conventional sowing date was investigated in a field experiment in 2009-2010. the factors were seven levels of priming by sa, including control or untreated seeds, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 µm sa and two sowing dates including conventional sowing date (23 october) and late sowing (22 november). results showed that prim...

Seed priming has proved to be an effective pre-germination seed invigoration technique for different crops improve and seedling performance under abiotic stresses. In Bangladesh, winter rice is very often exposed cold waves just after sowing in the nursery bed resulting poor germination emergence, yellowish thin seedlings production, a low survival rate. may mitigate stress during emergence hel...

This research was conducted to assessment effect of different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite along several times on quantitative parameters of wheat seeds affected by Aspergillus flavus fungus via factorial experiment according randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments consisted four concentrations of sodium hypochlorite or NaClO (C1= 2%, C2= 4%, C3= 6%, and...

Low temperature at stand establishment and high temperature at reproductive stage are involved in reduction of grain yield of spring maize. A field study was therefore conducted to evaluate different physiological strategies for improving performance of spring maize under temperature extremes. Seed priming and foliar spray with 3% moringa leaf extract (MLE) and 100 mg L-1 kinetin solution alone...
