“…Fruit elongation and increase in fruit breadth may be due to cell division initially, and cell enlargement in the later stages. Similar findings have been documented by Singh et al (2007). It may be due to the application of NAA raising endogenous auxin levels in the fruit, which favours development of various parts of the fruit.…”

Effect of foliar nutrition and growth regulators on nutrient status and fruit quality of Eureka lemon (Citrus limon)

et al. 2018

Studies were conducted to standardize the doses of nutrients and growth regulators for improving the fruit quality of lemon [Citrus limon (L.) Burm.f.] cultivar Eureka while maintaining the plant nutrient status. The experiment comprised twelve foliar applications consisting of 6%, 8% and 10% potassium sulphate; 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% calcium chloride; 20 ppm, 30 ppm and 40 ppm 2,4-D and 20 ppm, 30 ppm, 40 ppm naphthalene acetic acid. Potassium and calcium content in leaf and fruit of Eureka lemon was influenced by foliar application of nutrients and growth regulators. Among different nutrients and growth regulators, 10% potassium sulphate and 1.0% calcium chloride reduced fruit cracking and improved the fruit quality of Eureka lemon. Maximum potassium content in leaf and fruit was recorded with foliar application of 10% potassium sulphate and maximum calcium content in leaf and fruit was recorded with the foliar sprays of 1.0% calcium chloride. Two time application of 40 ppm NAA resulted in the most effective treatment for minimizing fruit cracking and improving the fruit quality as compared to the other treatments in Eureka lemon.

“…The reasons for this remain obscure, as very little investigation on seed dormancy condition in palms. Due to the often slow and uneven germination of palmyrah seeds, there has been a great deal of interest in any pre-sowing seed treatments that might increase the germination (Sathiya Narayanan et al, 2017;Singh and Kaur, 2021;Reshma and Simi, 2021). Soaking the seeds in water for 24 h is recommended as a standardized practice for propagating of palmyrah.…”

Palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer L.) is a slow growing, dioecious, drought resistant palm and considered to be native of Tropical Africa. It is cultivated as well as found growing in wild in the Indian subcontinent. It is distributed in India, Burma, Africa and Sri Lanka. Several problems are encountered in germination of seeds in palmyrah such as poor, protracted germination and prolonged nursery period. The main reasons for the failure of seeds to germinate in suitable conditions are either dead or dormant. The delayed germination of palmyrah might be due to the stony endocarp acting as a physical barrier to imbibition or imposing mechanical resistance to embryo enlargement. Against this backdrop, this review focuses on seed dormancy, pre-sowing seed treatment, nursery technology, and seed storage behaviour of palmyrah.Palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer L.) is a slow growing, dioecious, drought resistant palm and considered to be native of Tropical Africa.

“…However, the key is that imbibed seeds show a decreased lag period before radical emergence, which is initially reduced, but finally improves the rate and uniformity of germination [18,19]. Furthermore, previous findings underlined that hydro-priming may improve field emergence and ensured early flowering and harvesting under water stress conditions, especially in dry areas [15,20]. Hydro-priming, therefore, is a recognized means to reduce overall germination time, get synchronized germination, improve germination rates, and improve seedling establishment in many crops including maize, soybean, wheat, lentil, chickpea, mungbean, cowpea, etc.…”

“…Whilst some parameters such as germination rate index (GRI), seedling vigor index (SVI), and germination index have been used sporadically [24,25], most assessment studies typically used parameters such as final germination percentage, mean germination time, seedling dry weight, and root vigor index [2,23,[26][27][28][29]. Despite all previous reports recommending such interventions to the Malian farmer it is pertinent to confirm the positive impact of hydro-priming as an effective and efficient means to combat early season drought stress on key staples in Mali given the well-known impact of the inhibition solution [15], presoaking duration [2,20] crops and cultivars [2], and temperature of the soaking solution [2,15]. This paper aims to therefore assess the hydro-priming effects on nine Sorghum cultivars by using different sources of water and priming duration under controlled conditions in Mali.…”

Accelerating Seed Germination and Juvenile Growth of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) to Manage Climate Variability through Hydro-Priming

et al. 2021

Agriculture in Mali, a country in Sahelian West Africa, strongly depends on rainfall and concurrently has a low adaptive capacity, making it consequently one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change worldwide. Since early-season drought limits crop germination, and hence growth, ultimately yield during rain-fed depending on production is commonly experienced nowadays in Mali. Germination and establishment of key crops such as the staple sorghum could be improved by seed priming. The effects of hydro-priming with different water sources (e.g., distilled, tap, rain, river, well water) were evaluated respectively for three priming time durations in tepid e.g., at 25 °C (4, 8, and 12 h) and by hot water at 70 °C (in contrast to 10, 20, and 30 min.) in 2014 and 2015. Seed germination and seedling development of nine sorghum genotypes were monitored. Compared to non-primed seed treatments, hydro-priming significantly [p = 0.01] improved final germination percentage, germination rate index, total seedling length, root length, root vigor index, shoot length, and seedling dry weight. The priming with water from wells and rivers resulted in significant higher seed germination (85%) and seedling development, compared to the three other sources of water. Seed germination rate, uniformity, and speed were enhanced by hydro-priming also. It is argued that hydro-priming is a safe and simple method that effectively improve seed germination and seedling development of sorghum. If used in crop fields, the above most promising genotypes may contribute to managing early season drought and avoid failure of seed germination and crop failure in high climate variability contexts.
