Effect of seed priming durations on growth and yield of wheat varieties
Abstract
The results revealed that the crop treated 1.5 hour seed priming proved to be more effective than the treatments with 87.33% seed germination, 88.00 cm plant height, 3.5367 m2 number of tillers, 11.611 cm spike length, 49.667 spikelet’s spike-1, 46.667 grain spike-1, 1.3011 g grain weight spike-1, 46.367 g seed index, 17174 kg ha-1 biological yield, 4322.4 kg ha-1 grain yield and 38.478% harvest index. Wheat crop given 1 hour seed priming ranked second 82.556% seed germination, 85.00 cm plant height, 350.11 m2 number of tillers, 11.37 cm spike length, 47.11 spikelet’s spike-1, 45.33 grain spike-1, 1.2789 g grain weight spike-1...
