Growth and yield maintenance in bread wheat by seed priming under late-sown conditions

Abstract: In the sub-tropical regions of India, the 1 st to 3 rd week of November is the optimum time for sowing wheat. A delay in sowing due to various factors causes a substantial yield reduction. Seeds of four wheat varieties (Sonak, UP 2338, Raj 3765 and PBW 343) were subjected to seed priming treatments involving water, salts, growth regulator and the sowing of sprouted seed under late-sown conditions during the winter seasons of 1998-99 and 1999-2000. The sowing of sprouted seeds resulted in significantly more rap… Show more

“…The results on productive and unproductive tillers and filled and unfilled spikelets obtained in this experiment are in agreement with those of several other researchers [6,8,9,19,20]. Several earlier researchers reported that hydro-priming and pre-germinating rice seeds resulted in higher numbers of panicle bearing tillers, higher kernels per panicle, and reduced sterile spikelets compared to dry seed sowing [6,8,9,19,20]. Thakur et al [6] also reported that increase in the physiological activities and yield components associated with seed pre-germination and hydropriming are essential for better survival ability of the crop in the face of terminal moisture stresses.…”

“…These yield constraining growth parameters were avoided with the practices of seed pregermination and hydro-priming, both resulting in higher rice grain yield. The increased grain yield and harvest index with planting pre-germinated and hydro-primed seeds in the present study is in line with the results of Kant et al [20] who reported increased grain yield and harvest index with planting pregerminated rice seeds. In agreement with the results of this study, Harris et al [9], Farooq et al [8], Rehman et al [18],Yari1 et al [19] also reported increased rice grain yields and harvest index in response to planting hydro-primed seeds.…”

“…It appears that primed seeds are better able to complete the process of emergence in a short time and cope with probable environmental stresses. This early and uniform stand establishment enables the crop to complete other phenological events in crop ontogeny well in time (Kant et al, 2003). Gupta and Hunsigi (2010) reported that primed peppermint plants grew more vigorously, flowered earlier and yielded more.…”
