Evaluation of techniques on breaking seed dormancy on four philippine inbred rice varieties

This study evaluated the efficiency of six dormancy – breaking techniques on the germination of the four inbred rice varieties (PSB Rc82, NSIC Rc160, NSIC Rc218, NSIC Rc222) through the measurement of root and shoot length. This provides information to researchers, rice farmers and breeders in identifying the most efficient breaking dormancy techniques for the […]

Influence of different pre sowing seed invigoration techniques on early growth of different maize hybrids

Several seed conditioning approaches utilizing maize hybrids of priming precursors may develop crop establishment, performance and quality of corn. Seed priming treatments are used to minimize emergence time, enhanced germination rate and crop establishment in field crops like maize under adverse environment. A laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of pre-sowing technique on […]

Seed ecology of Ecbolium ligustrinum (Vahl) Vollesen, an important medicinal plant of Asiatic tropics

Ecbolium ligustrinum (Vahl) Vollesen [Acanthaceae] is a regionally threatened widely used medicinally important plant. For the sustenance and formulation of conservation strategy, a thorough study regarding different seed ecological aspects of the plant species viz., seed production, seed-ovule ratio, seed-set percentage, seed dispersal and seed structure along with their germination, dormancy, scarification and moisture content […]

Efficacy of vermicompost on seedling growth of Solanum melongena var. Mayalu and Arka Keshav

Production of healthy seedling is a must for successful plant production. This paper deals with the evaluation of the effects of five different vermicompost applied at four different concentrations on seed germination and seedling quality of Solanum melongena var. arka keshav and mayalu in laboratory and greenhouse conditions. The experiments were conducted in a complete […]

Effect of sowing dates on germination of common water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes Mart) solms in Central Iraq

Keeping in view, the importance of water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes Mart.) Solms in reducing the biological diversity, this research was aimed to determine the seed germination percentage in suitable environmental condition in order to stop its further extension to improve the long-term management particularly in Diyala province. This study included the identification of the seed […]
