Priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increased seed performance (germination and emergence), seedling growth and plant yield under stress conditions, such as salinity, temperature and drought stress. In order to evaluate the effect of growth hormones on morphology characteristics and essential oil of basil under drought stress condition, a experiment was cond...

background & aim: because of seed germination ability of medicinal plants seed is low and, generally exposed to problem. priming is one of the techniques that help seeds to be germinated faster and uniformly. experimental: a laboratory experiment was carried out on germination and growth improvement in heracleum persicum desf.  by seed osmo-primming in seed technology laboratory ...

in arid and semi arid, seedling emergence and establishment are key stages for final plant density in chickpea production. drought stress, especially at the end of the growing season, is one of the factors which decrease a main part of chickpea grain yield in these areas. therefore the aims of this study were assess to the effects of hydro priming and hormonal priming by gibberellin and abscisi...

Failures to replicate high-profile priming effects have raised questions about the reliability of so-called “social priming” phenomena. However, not only are many relevant studies particularly social in nature, but other robust that clearly nature do count as priming. Most importantly, focus on supposedly aspect work has obscured factors help account for relative effects. Here, we examine const...

soil and water salinity in arid and semi-arid regions, is one of the most important stresses, can severely limit crop production. black cumin (nigella sativa l.) is annual important herbal plant in rununculaceae family that sense to salinity. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the priming on seed germination of black cumin under saline stress. the experiment was carried out as ...

Field experiments were conducted during 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides NICOSULFURON and EPTC alone or in combination with seed priming on weed control and corn yield. NICOSULFURON (80 g a.i. ha‒1) was applied at four- to six-leaf stage of corn as post-emergence and EPTC (4920 g a.i. ha‒1) applied as pre-plant incorporation (PPI). Among the herbicide treatments, the lowest ...

Seed germination, emergence and crop growth are often constrained by multiple environmental stress under field condition limiting productivity. priming, a age old inexpensive technique, consisting of soaking seeds in priming agent prior to sowing, has been applied different crops conditions with varying degrees success. To understand the significance this potentially transformative agronomic st...
