“…This was kept for 24 hours in order to break the dormancy period ( Figure 2) and initiate germination processes. Similar findings were reported (Ella et al, 2011;Guo et al, 2004;Haytham et al, 2010;Jeyabal & Kuppuswamy, 1998;Maarten, Leónie, & Henk, 2002;Michael et al, 2008;Naredo et al, 1998;Nouman et al, 2012;Wan et al, 2006). …”

One of the major problems of adapting the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) techniques is knowledge shortfall on the technical skills for processing quality seeds to achieve uniform seedling establishment in the nursery and quick seedling recovery in the puddled field. Therefore, this study aimed to create suitably seed sorting technique leading to vigorous and quality seedlings to improve potentiality of SRI nursery and reduce seedlings transplanting shock. It involved sorting of MR219 rice seeds the most popular grown variety in Malaysia in NaCl solutions of 0 g/L(water alone), 40 g/L, 60 g/L, 80 g/L, 100 g/L and 120 g/L, respectively. The experiment revealed that 100% germination after ten days was obtained from the sunken MR219 seeds collected in 80 g/L of NaCl solution. These values reported a decrease in germination (85%) with increasing NaCl concentration (120 g/L), with least germination vigor of 42% in water alone (0 g/L) 3 days. The percentage of sprouting proved to be high from the sunken seeds obtained in 80 g/L with 100% sprouting success rate. A decrease in percentage (70%) has been revealed with increasing NaCl concentration from the seeds obtained in 120 g/L and also when it was reduced to 40 g/L which reported 65% of the sprouting rate. Therefore, this technical information serves as benchmark to practicing farmers that high concentration in NaCl not only reduces the percentage of viable seeds but also increases seedling preparation cost as well as the entire production cost.

“…This method was similarly reported by Yari and Sheidaie (2011) on rice seed and Liela et al (2010) on wheat. Similar findings on various research works Jeyabal & Kuppuswamy, 1998;Maarten et al, 2002;Nejad & Farahmand, 2012;Tuong & Du, 2002) also responded relatively as reported. …”

“…Because Cu is needed in minute quantities for optimum crop growth, ''feeding sites'' can be increased by soaking seed in dilute Cu solution. Earlier research has shown increases in yield and/or N uptake of wheat, barley and triticale (Saad et al 1999), and rice [Jeyabal and Kuppuswamy (1998), cited in Teama (2001)] by soaking seed in zinc sulphate solution. Other recent field experiments on corn in Egypt have shown that sowing corn seeds soaked in Zn, Mn and Fe solutions improved N fertilizer use efficiency (NFUE), resulting in large increases in seed yield from applied N (Teama 2001).…”

Malhi, S. S. 2009. Effectiveness of seed-soaked Cu, autumn-versus spring-applied Cu, and Cu-treated P fertilizer on seed yield of wheat and residual nitrate-N for a Cu-deficient soil. Can. J. Plant Sci. 89: 1017Á1030. Three field experiments were conducted from 2005 to 2007 to determine the effects of seed-soaking in Cu EDTA liquid, autumn versus spring application of granular Cu sulphate, and granular Cu-treated monoammonium phosphate (MAP) fertilizer on seed yield and Cu uptake of wheat, and residual nitrate-N in the soil profile on a Cu-deficient Dark Gray Luvisol (Boralf) sandy loam near Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan, Canada. In exp. 1, seed soaked in Cu EDTA liquid at 0.04 to 0.16 kg Cu ha(1 increased seed yield substantially, in spite of a significant reduction in plant emergence in most cases. But, seed yield increases from the seed soaked in Cu EDTA liquid were lower compared with foliar-applied Cu EDTA liquid at 0.50 to 1.00 kg Cu ha(1 , or compared with surface spray-broadcast and incorporation of Cu EDTA liquid into soil in spring prior to seeding at 4.0 kg Cu ha (1 . Seed yield trend was two foliar applications of Cu EDTA liquid soil surface spraybroadcast and incorporated Cu EDTA liquid one foliar application of Cu EDTA liquid seed-soaked Cu EDTA liquid. In exp. 2, for granular Cu sulphate in the first year, only previous autumn application increased seed yield significantly when applied at 4.0 kg ha ( 1 . For spring application, seed yield was highest when solution Cu EDTA at 4.0 kg ha(1 was spray-broadcast on the soil surface and incorporated into soil prior to seeding. In exp. 3, application of granular Cu-treated MAP fertilizer had no significant effect on seed yield. The Cu uptake by seed usually followed'the same trends as seed yield. In all experiments, the partial factor productivity (seed yield per unit of nutrient applied) was much higher when N was applied in combination with Cu (15.3 to 29.8 kg seed kg( 1 applied N ha(1 ) compared with N alone (5.7 to 7.7 kg seed kg(1 applied N ha(1 ). In exp. 1, the amounts of residual nitrate-N in the 0Á90 cm soil profile after three annual N fertilizer applications were 3.3 to 4.0 times higher in the zero-Cu control than in the Cu fertilizer treatments. Overall, seed yields of wheat were highest with two foliar applications of Cu at low rates, or with soil spray/broadcast and incorporation of solution Cu in spring at a relatively high rate, which is also expected to have long-term residual effects on crop yield. For granular Cu sulphate, the results indicated that deficiency of Cu in wheat can be corrected by surface-broadcast application at a relatively high rate in the previous autumn, followed by its incorporation into soil in the spring at seeding. The results also indicate that by soaking wheat seed in Cu EDTA solution at a very low rate, Cu deficiency in wheat can be prevented and seed yield increased, but less than the other Cu treatments. Accumulation and downward movement of residual nitrate-N in the soil profile can be minimized by preventin...

“…Similar beneficial influence of seed pelleting treatments with ZnSO4 @ 3g/kg + borax @ 3g/kg + Capton (2.5g/kg) + Imidacloprid (2.5g/kg) may be ascribed to their role in enhanced metabolic activity, earliness in germination, cell division and elongation leading to production of increased seedling growth in soybean (Balaji, 1990;Supreeta Angadi, 2004;Rathinavel et al, 2000;Masuthi, 2005). As zinc is the constituent of several dehydrogenase enzyme and an activator of other enzymes, which might have triggered the germination and seedling growth (Jeyabal et al, 1999). Hence the study can be concluded seed pelleted with (T8) ZnSO4 @ 3g/kg + borax @ 3g/kg + Capton (2.5g/kg) + Imidacloprid (2.5g/kg) could be recommended for the French bean cultivation to harvest higher seed yield and seed quality.…”
