“…Conversely, the lowest number of branches was observed in PEG 6000-13.5% at -0.25MPa for 6 hours (T3), which was comparable to the control (T1). These findings are consistent with earlier research by Rai et al [25] and Bindu [26], which focused on liquid formulations of bioagents. Notably, our current investigation deviates by utilizing dry formulations of bioagents.…”

This research investigated diverse pre-sowing techniques' impact on the growth, fruit, and seed yield of okra variety Arka Anamika. From fourteen treatments, seven were selected based on germination and vigour index for a subsequent field experiment. The Randomized Block Design trial with three replications revealed significant variations in growth and yield among pre-sowing treatments. The treatment employing PEG (Poly ethylene glycol) 6000-13.5% (-0.25MPa) for 6 hours exhibited the highest germination percentages. Pseudomonas fluorescens-10g/kg of seed also displayed notable performance. Treatment variations were observed in plant height, branches, and flowering timings. The results suggest that in terms of plant growth and flowering time, P. fluorescens was more effective than Trichoderma viride. P. fluorescens -10g/kg of seed, demonstrated superior results in achieving maximum seed yield parameters, ranking highest overall. T. viride-4g/kg of seed, emerged as the second most effective treatment. Recommendations for preserving seed quality included KNO3 2% for 6 hours and PEG 6000-13.5% (-0.25MPa) for 12 hours. Application of biocontrol agents, especially P. fluorescens and T. viride, markedly improved okra variety Arka Anamika's fruit and seed yield characteristics. The study concludes by emphasizing the benefits of biocontrol agents on overall performance and suggesting targeted treatments for optimal seed quality.

“…Biopriming of kidney bean seeds with Trichoderma harzianum increases chlorophyll content (Mehjabeen et al 2020). Improvement in protein and carbohydrate content was seen in okra on biopriming with Trichoderma viride (Rai et al 2019b). In pepper, enhancement in carotenoids, IAA, GA3 contents and photosynthetic pigments was observed when seeds treated with Glomus sp.…”

The use of micro-organisms to improve yield and quality parameters in crop plants is the basis of biopriming treatment in different crop plants. Inoculation of microbes to hydrated seeds initiates metabolic activities without actual germination. The micro-organisms multiplying on the seed stimulate the release of growth hormones and volatile compounds by plants, improve the availability of nutrients in the soil and initiate defence signals in stress conditions. Ultimately, better quality and higher yield is obtained by increased nutrient use efficiency, enhanced tolerance of plants against various biotic and abiotic stresses and improved physiological and morphological traits in different vegetable crops. Among various methods of microbe application, priming treatment was found to be a promising technique. It also reduces the use of chemicals and their harmful effects. Therefore, biopriming can be effectively used as a simple and inexpensive substitute to other seed treatment methods for crop improvement. Here in this review, different microbes and their potential use as growth and development stimulators through priming treatment in the vegetable are discussed.
