salinity and drought are two major abiotic stresses that affect rice (oryza sativa l.) production in worldwide. salt and drought tolerance and high seedling vigor of rice is one of the important traits in the establishment of seedling in direct planting system and saline and drought environments. in this research, the mapping population of f2:4 families derived from the cross between local vari...

Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plants to complete their life cycle. P taken up from the soil by the roots is transported to the rest of the plant and ultimately stored in seeds. This stored P is used during germination to sustain the nutritional demands of the growing seedling in the absence of a developed root system. Nevertheless, P deficiency, an increasing global issue, gr...

The influence of pre-sowing treatments using hydropriming, osmopriming and halopriming in laboratory and/or nursery tests on seedling emergence, seedling weight and plant growth of endive and chicory was examined. Halopriming (KNO3) or growth regulators (gibberelic acid; GA3) improved the rate of germination of endive and chicory and reduced the mean germination time needed. 30 min pre-sowing t...

Summary The quality and provenance of seed are exceptional importance for the production yield cultivated plants. There numerous tests determination vigour. accelerated ageing test is one most important that provide degree germination preservation longevity in storages. aim this study was to observe effect different methods – organic conventional on vigour maize (variety Rumenka), using test. M...

environmental conditions including metrological parameters (precipitation, temperature, humidity and etc.) various stresses and nutrition, could affect  germination and  seeds vigor during of development, ripping and leven after harvesting of soybean seed. for this, experiments of completely randomized design ( as nested)by four replications were performed in seed laboratory of gorgon universit...

The present study was carried out at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, to assess the impact of natural ageing and different storage containers on eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) seed quality during 2020–21 2021–22 winter (rabi) seasons. Genetically pure seeds were used stored in cloth polythene bags. Seed parameters (germination, seedling length, dry weight, vigour)...
