Abstract:

The experiment was conducted in Post Graduate Laboratory and Field Experimentation Centre of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and sciences, Allahabad (U.P.) during Rabi 2017-18 in order to standardize the best method of priming viz., hydropriming, halopriming, osmopriming and organic priming evaluated by screening a range of duration concentrations viz., T0-Untreated (Control), T1-Distilled water(hydration), T2-Potassium chloride (kcl)1%,T3- Potassium chloride (kcl) 2%,T4- Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) 1%, T5- polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 2%,and T6- Neem Leaf Extract 5% for 8hours.It was found that all the priming methods showed significance difference with the control and the field emergence percentage, number of nodules per plant at 30 DAS, number of nodules per plant at 45 DAS, nodules fresh weight at 30 DAS, nodules fresh weight at 45 DAS, nodules dry weight at 30 DAS, nodules dry weight at 45 DAS, plant height.

It was found that all the priming treatment showed significance difference with the control and the highest field emergence per cent and plant nodulation characters were observed for PEG6000 best priming. The Highest nodulation was observed in PEG and CaCl2.Seed priming for 8 hours and then dried for 24 hours in shade. This study Showed that seed priming Could improve some root nodulation and plant height in Kabuli chickpea seed. In seed priming, its simplicity no requirements for extensive equipment and chemicals could be used method for overcoming problems related to a poor germination and seedling establishment and helps in sustaining agriculture and cost, growth and nodulation and with the help of seed priming treatments which are cost effective, economic, non-toxic and from eco-friendly sources.
