Abstract Application of plant growth regulators emerges as one the most reliable methods to enhance crop productivity and quality. However, knowledge is limited in seed quality hybrid rice subjected exogenous 6-Benzyladenine (6-BA) application during development. A 2-year experiment was conducted investigate effects 6-BA treatment after pollination on vigor its underlying regulatory mechanisms....

in conventional agricultural systems application of fungicide and pesticides for seed treatment had been extended in wide range. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of seed treatment on seed vigor indices on back cross roshan of wheat cultivar in vitro status during 2007. the experiment was done in a completely randomized factorial design with eight replications. treatment were inc...

the effect of electromagnetic field was examined on zinnia (zinnia elegans) seeds to enhance seed germination and early growth. the seeds were exposed to four magnetic strengths of 15, 100, 400 and 800 mt in four durations of 30, 60, 120 and 240 min. the experiments were carried out in two forms of laboratory germination and soil emergence. results showed that magnetic field application enhance...

The study was conducted over a period of six months from January to June 2004 to explore the effects of different seed treatments on germination and seedling growth attributes of a popular medicinal plant, Horitoki (Terminalia chebula Retz) in the nursery of Chittagong University, Bangladesh. Seeds were subjected to six pre-sowing treatments e.g. control (T ), depulped (T ), depulped and soaked...
