Salinity intrusion often limits seed germination and early seedling growth in coastal agricultural areas. Organic biostimulants, such as seaweed extracts, are a possible way to reduce this problem. This study aims to evaluate the effect of Sargassum sp. extract on the germination and early seedling growth of hybrid mel...
The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of different seed priming agents and durations on germination, seedling vigour, and growth of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench). The experiment was carried out in 2022 at the Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner, Rajasthan, using...
Drought is a significant abiotic stress that adversely affects rice productivity in Kerala by reducing water potential and disrupting physiological processes. This study was conducted at the Department of Seed Science and Technology, College of Agriculture, Vellanikkara, to evaluate the efficacy of seed priming in impr...
Silphium perfoliatum L. is a promising perennial bioenergy and forage crop; however, its agricultural expansion is severely hindered by primary physiological dormancy and non- uniform seedling emergence This study evaluated the effects of chemical priming treatments (distilled H2O, H2O2, GA3, KNO3, ethephon, and sodium...
Seed priming with ascorbic acid (AsA) has been widely recognized for enhancing early plant development; however, its effectiveness in improving growth, physiology, yield, and nutritional quality of broccoli under field conditions remains limited. This two-year field study evaluated the effects of AsA seed priming on br...
