Seed storage experiment was carried out to investigate the most appropriate period of storing and preserving soybean seed quality under ambient conditions. Germination percentage, seed vigour, moisture content, 1000 seed weight, protein and oil contents were assessed before storage (control), three months (90 days) and six months (180 days) after storage. The results indicated that soybean seed...

In order to study of hydropriming and halopriming on germination and early growth stage of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) an experiment was carried out in laboratory of the Department of AgroNomy and Plant breeding, Shahrood University of Technology. Seed treatments consisted of T1: control (untreated seeds), T2: soaking in distilled water for 18 h (hydropriming). T3: soaking in -1.2 MPa solution...

Successful agriculture depends on high-quality seed, which is a fundamental and important ingredient. Under unfavourable environmental conditions like drought, pre-sowing seed treatment such as coating priming could boost the germination seedling vigour. The agents often include plant growth regulators, micro-fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides. present investigation was carried out to assess...

abstract- this experiment was carried out during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the agricultural research farm of bu-ali sina university, to study the effect of weed competition on subsequent germination and seed vigour of chickpea. 12 weed interference durations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. experiments consisted of two sets of treatment...

Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Mills.) is one of the major grain legume crops grown in the tropics and sub-tropics and accounts for about 5% of world legume production. It is the fifth prominent pulse crop in the world and second most important pulse crop after chickpea in India. India is ranking first having about 90% of the world area and 85% of production. Organic farming in recent years gai...

The impact of chemical desiccation on yield showed contrasting results depending on seedmoisture content at the time of application. Its effects on seed deterioration are still unknownand could be modified by seed composition. Objectives were to evaluate the impact of chemicaldesiccation on: i) hybrid sunflower seed yield and composition at harvest time, ii) seeddeterioration during long-term s...

The aim of this study was to examine the influence electrostatic fields on seed vigor, mean rate germination and coefficient velocity five soybean genotypes. Testing conducted at Novi Sad Institute Field Vegetable Crops seeds varieties: Sava, NS 2024, 1347, 3127, Blackstar. were exposed different values direct current (DC) following voltage: 0 V (control), 3 V, 6 9 which for min 1 min. After ex...
