“…Researchers observed that early plant establishment in late-sown wheat favors crops to complete tillering in time, which results in more productive tillers, more grains per spike, higher grain weight, and eventually a higher grain yield (Kant et al 2006;Farooq et al 2008). …”

In rice–wheat systems, late sowing of wheat is the major reason of low yield. This yield reduction is principally due to lower and erratic germination, and poor crop establishment because of low temperature prevailing. The present study was conducted to explore the possibility of improving late sown wheat performance by seed priming techniques. Seed priming strategies were: on‐farm seed priming, hydropriming for 24 h, seed hardening for 12 h and osmohardening with KCl or CaCl2 for 12 h. Seed priming improved emergence, stand establishment, tiller numbers, allometry, grain and straw yield, and harvest index. However, seed priming techniques did not affect plant height, number of spikelets, number of grains and 1000 grain weight. Osmohardening with CaCl2 gave more grain and straw yield and harvest index compared with control and other priming treatments, followed by osmohardening with KCl and on‐farm seed priming. Improved yield was attributed principally to better stand establishment and improved number of fertile tillers. Seed priming techniques can be effectively used to improve the performance of late sown wheat.

“…Efficacy to seed priming techniques to advance the seedling germination rate, speed and uniformity of emergence even under less than normal field situation is well established (Lee et al, 1998;Kant et al, 2006;Farooq et al, 2008). During seed priming process, seeds are soaked in distilled water or solutions of low water potential, which allows pre-germination metabolic activities without actual germination, and seeds are then put out from the solution, rinsed and dried close to original weight to sanction routine handling (Bradford, 1986).…”

To cite this paper: Haider, M.U., M. AbstractThis field study was conducted to assess the effect of seed priming and seed size on emergence, growth and productivity of wheat under conventional and conservation tillage during winter season 2012-2013. Seeds of wheat cultivar Punjab-2011 were separated into small sized (1000 grain weight = 22.5 g) and bold sized (1000 grain weight = 44.4 g) seeds by winnowing. Both bold and small sized seeds were soaked in aerated solution of CaCl2 (ψs -1.25 MPa; osmopriming) for 24 h while untreated (dry) seeds were taken as control. Osmoprimed and dry seeds of both sizes were sown under conventional and conservation (zero tillage) tillage practices. Results indicated that wheat sown under conventional tillage observed quick, uniform and better early stand establishment compared with zero tilled wheat. However, seed primed with CaCl2 significantly lowered the days to start emergence, mean emergence time and improved final emergence count compared with dry seeds sown, particularly of zero tilled wheat. Zero tilled crop observed a significant cut in leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR) and net assimilation (NAR), while bold seed size and osmopriming improved the LAI, CGR and NAR under both tillage practices, zero tilled wheat in particular. Moreover, zero tilled wheat observed a significant yield penalty due to significant increase in yield related traits; however, osmopriming and bold seed size improved wheat productivity due to substantial expansion in yield related traits under conventional and zero tillage, zero tillage in particular, practices. In conclusion, bold sized seed osmoprimed with CaCl2 was better able to produce higher yield of conventionally tilled and zero tilled wheat.
