White sapote is an exotic fruit crop gaining popularity at present days due to the occurrence of high medicinal value. The experiment was carried out under polyhouse conditions Central Horticultural Experiment Station, Chettalli, Kodagu, Karnataka during 2022 with objective know effect pre-sowing treatments on germination and growth attributes white sapote. experimental results revealed that in...

Seed vitality and vigour are the two most common parameters related to seed quality. It is crucial have reliable methods tests for quality testing. The standard germination test can be used predict field emergence, but laboratory testing conditions often in conflict with conditions. Validated evaluation legumes conductivity test, accelerated ageing tetrazolium test. Also, other types of been so...

Seedling establishment is a most critical stage that determined the crop production at later stages. An in vitro investigation was carried out Laboratory of Department Plant Breeding and Genetics, Sri Karan Narendra College Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) Rabi season 2016-17 to study response fenugreek genotypes for their germination early seedling parameters under five salt stress levels viz. ...

Drought stress diminishes seedling germination and vigor by reducing water uptake, inhibiting plant growth development. Most of the pulse growing areas are under rainfed ecosystems, which significantly reduces crop yield. Melatonin, a growth-regulating compound, is widely used to mitigate negative effects abiotic stresses in pulses. With this background, laboratory experiment was conducted stan...

This study identified three soil bacteria (NRRU-BW3, NRRU-BW3, and NRRU-TV11) that degrade chlorpyrifos, produce indole-3-acetic acid, exopolysaccharides under pesticide stress. The results revealed were as Priestia megaterium Bacillus siamensis NRRU-BW9, amyloliquefaciens NRRU-TV11. These strains showed the ability to acid (IAA) (EPS) in chlorpyrifos. Moreover, these can chlorpyrifos (CP) an a...

Background: Salinity stress is one of the most severe problems in agriculture. Seed priming a technique that improves seed germination and growth under abiotic stress. The study was conducted to evaluate effects different agents on seedling Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk) Variety GI-3 salinity Methods: experiment with completely randomized design. factors examined include four types priming, con...

Seeds are central to crop production, human nutrition, and food security. A key component of the performance of crop seeds is the complex trait of seed vigour. Crop yield and resource use efficiency depend on successful plant establishment in the field, and it is the vigour of seeds that defines their ability to germinate and establish seedlings rapidly, uniformly, and robustly across diverse e...

Perenniality and vegetative re-growth vigour represent key agronomic traits in forage legume (Fabaceae) species. The known determinants of perenniality include the conservation of the vegetative meristem during and after the flowering phase, and the separation of flowering from senescence. The ability of the plants to store nutrient resources in perennial organs and remobilize them may also pla...
