Biopriming on germination

Pulses are economically and nutritionally important crop in India. It continuously faces biotic and abiotic challenges. In this study we analysed the potentiality of Trichoderma spp. in germination and development of pulses. The pulse crops were taken as Pea, Lentil, chickpea and Red gram.

Chickpea seed were bioprimed with vermiculite and later with biocontrol agents for their efficacy on seed borne infections and seedling vigour of the plant. Among the seven treatments tested, the treatment P. fluorescens @ 0.8 % + T. harzianum@ 0.8 % + Vermiculite shown the least seed infection of 13.00 per cent, highest seed germination of 91.00 per cent and vigour index of 1753.

A laboratory experiment was conducted at seed science and technology, college of agriculture, Raichur during December, 2018. Aim is to study the effect of seed quality through integrated approach in prosomillet of resultant seeds. The experiment consisted of 4 priming treatment combinations viz., Control, hydropriming for 8h, biopriming with Pseudomonas fluorescens (20 %) and KH2PO4 (2%) with three levels of fertility (100 %, 125 % and 150% RDF). The seeds produced from the field experiment are evaluated in the laboratory for quality assessment.

The studies were carried out with greengram var CO8 seeds to determine the effect of biopriming on germination and vigour of seeds. Seeds of greengram were primed with water and liquid formulation of rhizobacteria, phosphobacteria and Pseudomonas with different concentrations viz., 1%, 2% and 5% for 3hours. Unprimed seeds served as the control. In this study, biopriming with rhizobium at 5% recorded the highest in germination (%), seedling length and vigour index values. Biopriming of seeds performed better than hydropriming with enhanced rate of germination and vigour of the seedlings.

The experiment was conducted to determine the enhancement of seedling vigour through bio priming for barnyard millet. Seeds of barnyard millet var. MDU 1 were bioprimed with water, Azophos, Pseudomonas fluroscens, PPFM and the combinations of Azophos+ Pseudomonas fluroscens at 20% concentration for 8 h. Bio- primed seeds were evaluated for its germination, seedling length, vigour index, dehydrogenase, α-amylase and microbial count.
